The three SEC filings that carry almost everything on this site.
A 10-K is a public company's full-year audited report: complete financial statements, risk factors, and management's discussion of the business, filed once a year within 60-90 days of fiscal year end depending on company size. This is the primary source for the financials and scoring on this site.
A 10-Q is a lighter, unaudited update filed for each of the first three quarters of the fiscal year (the fourth quarter is covered by the 10-K instead). It's faster and less detailed than a 10-K.
An 8-K is filed within days of a significant event — earnings releases, executive departures, a completed acquisition, a new material agreement — rather than on a fixed schedule. This site's "Recent SEC Filings" section on each stock page pulls these directly, labeled in plain English instead of the raw item-number codes.
Everything on this site traces back to one of these three filing types via SEC EDGAR's free, public API — no paid data vendor, no estimate, no third-party aggregation in between. If a number here looks wrong, the filing itself is one click away to check.
