Company Financial Statements

Type a ticker or a company name and read ten fiscal years of its income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement side by side, as the company filed them with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. One select switches every statement between values in millions, common size (each line as a percent of revenue or of total assets) and growth from the year before. Below the statements: margins, returns, free cash flow and net debt by year, the compound growth of revenue and earnings per share worked out step by step, two charts, the filing each year comes from with a link to it, and a CSV download. The figures are standardised by reporting tag; the filing is the authority. A calculator for education and analysis, not investment advice.

Peer Comparison

Up to six U.S. listed companies side by side for one fiscal year, from the annual figures they filed with the SEC: size, profitability, growth, financial strength and cash, with each ratio's formula written out once with the first company's numbers, the group median in the last column and three bar charts. Typed share prices add price to earnings, enterprise value to EBITDA, price to book and free cash flow yield. Blank cells are explained, fiscal year ends are shown, and nothing is ranked or rated.

Fundamental Screener

Filter the companies in the site's SEC filing data by your own criteria: up to six, each a measure, at least or at most, and a number. Twenty measures are formed from each company's latest fiscal year and the years before it: revenue, net income, margins, return on equity and on assets, revenue and earnings-per-share growth, free cash flow margin, debt to equity, net debt to EBITDA, interest cover, current ratio, dividend payout, share-count change and capital spending. The page counts how many companies meet each criterion alone and all together, lists the ones that meet all, writes each chosen measure's formula out once with the first listed company's numbers, and counts the companies that could not be evaluated because a needed figure is blank or not meaningful. The list is sorted the way you choose; nothing is scored, ranked or rated. A calculator for education and analysis, not investment advice.

Capital Allocation History

Type a ticker or a company name and see where the company's cash went over up to ten fiscal years, from the cash flow statements it filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Each year's cash from operations is set against its uses (capital spending, other investing, dividends, share repurchases, net debt repaid, other financing) and the change in cash, in money and as a percent of operating cash flow, with period totals and a bar chart. Below: free cash flow and the share of it paid to shareholders, capital spending against depreciation, the change in the share count beside the repurchase spending, and the dividend and buyback yield on a market value you type. Each ratio is written out once with the latest year's numbers. The page describes what the company did; it does not judge it. A calculator for education and analysis, not investment advice.

Dividend Sustainability

Type a ticker or a company name and see whether the company's dividend has been covered by what it earned, from the annual reports it filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. For up to ten fiscal years: the dividend per share and its yearly change, the years in a row without a cut and with an increase, the payout ratio (dividends over net income), the free-cash-flow payout (dividends over free cash flow), dividends plus share repurchases against free cash flow, net debt to EBITDA and interest cover, each with the range it has been in. The dividend's compound growth over 3, 5 and 10 years is set beside that of earnings per share and free cash flow per share, with two charts. With a share price you type: the dividend yield and the growth the price implies under the constant-growth model. The page states what each ratio is and what it has been; it gives no verdict on the dividend. A calculator for education and analysis, not investment advice.

Earnings Quality Trend

Type a ticker or a company name and see up to ten fiscal years of the accounting checks that analysts apply to reported profit, from the annual reports the company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Year by year: how much of net income arrived as cash (cash conversion), the accruals ratio in its cash-flow and balance-sheet forms, receivables growth against revenue growth with days sales outstanding, inventory growth against cost of revenue with days inventory, gross and operating margin, capital spending against depreciation, share-based compensation and free cash flow before and after it, the change in the share count, the effective tax rate, and the Piotroski F-score of every year. Each formula is written out once with the latest year's numbers, and each measure is described by what a rising or falling value means mechanically. The page reports the numbers and gives no opinion on the company. A calculator for education and analysis, not investment advice.

Insider Transactions

Type a ticker or a company name and read the transactions that the company's directors, officers and ten-percent owners reported to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 4 in the last 24 months: each line as filed, with its transaction code, shares, price and a link to the filing. Or type an insider's name to find that person's reported transactions in the companies on this site. The page explains what every transaction code means, totals the lines by code, adds up purchases and sales by month, and shows the share of sales made in filings marked as under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. Figures are from the filings in the SEC's EDGAR system. A calculator for education and analysis, not investment advice.

Fund Holdings (13F)

Choose one of 25 of the largest institutional investment managers and read the U.S. listed shares it reported to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 13F for the latest quarter: each position with its value, its share of the reported total, the number of shares and the change from the quarter before, the ten largest positions and how much of the total they make up. Type a ticker to see which of the 25 managers report that company's shares. The page states what a Form 13F leaves out: it shows long positions in U.S. listed securities at a quarter end, filed up to 45 days later, with no short positions and no cash.
