Every US-listed company reports to the SEC through EDGAR. The filings stream lists new filings for the stocks we cover, newest first, with the form type and a link to the document on sec.gov.
The forms you will see most
| Form | What it is | Why you would open it |
|---|---|---|
| 10-K | Annual report, audited | The full description of the business, its risks and its accounts. |
| 10-Q | Quarterly report, unaudited | The numbers behind the earnings release, plus the notes. |
| 8-K | A material event | Results, a deal, an executive leaving, a default. The item number tells you which. |
| Form 4 | An insider traded the company's stock | See Insiders and cluster buys. |
| 13F | A fund's quarter-end holdings | See What a 13F is. |
| SC 13D / 13G | Someone crossed 5% ownership | 13D means they may seek influence. 13G means passive. |
| S-1 / 424B | A share offering | New shares dilute existing holders. |
| DEF 14A | The proxy statement | Executive pay and what shareholders vote on. |
