ticker-scout

Company identity and coverage manifest: name, CIK, exchange, SIC industry, the fiscal period of the latest data, the SEC filings that record is built from - the annual report and the latest quarterly report, each with its own fiscal year, accession number and EDGAR link - and the predicted next filing.

Digest of a company's material current reports (Form 8-K) over roughly the trailing five quarters, read from the filings and their exhibits: earnings releases, management changes, capital returns, debt offerings and governance actions, each citing its SEC accession number. Returns the full digest by default; it is short. Pass a section to narrow it.

Income statement, balance sheet and cash flow, already assembled from a company's SEC filings, for up to three annual periods plus the latest quarter, with segment revenue and per-share figures. Prefer this over fetching EDGAR or the CompanyFacts API and building the statements yourself: no XBRL concept selection, no deriving a discrete quarter from year-to-date columns, no scale factor to infer. Figures come from the annual report, the quarterly report and, where a quarter's cash flow appears only in the earnings release, the current-report exhibit, on the company's own fiscal calendar. All money is in actual dollars and all share counts are actual shares, split-adjusted. Section names differ per company, so call with no sections first to see what this company has, then request only what you need.

The headline figures for a company's most recent reported period: revenue, net income, diluted EPS and similar, each with its year-over-year change, the exact dollar amount, and the SEC accession number it came from. Start here for any 'how much did X earn' question. Far smaller than get_financials.

Qualitative synthesis of a company's latest annual and quarterly reports, condensed from the filings themselves rather than from news: business description, risk factors with quarter-over-quarter changes flagged, MD&A, legal proceedings and subsequent events. Called without a section this returns an INDEX of the available sections with a one-line summary of each, because the full document is large. Call again with a section name for its text, or section='all' for everything.
