BA 306U Essentials of Finance (Business Minor): Company Financials

Company Financials

For US public companies: use any of the methods below 

Go to the company website and click on the Investors or Investor Relations. Or...

Search the EDGAR system on SEC.GOV: enter company name or ticker, then type in 10-K under Filing Type on the results page. Or...

Google: [company name] 10-K [year]. 

** While the term "annual report" is often used to describe either a 10-K or an Annual Report to Shareholders (ARS), there is a difference.
