SEC filings

Tap the SEC chip and the feed shows only company disclosures filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These are the documents public companies are legally required to file, and a lot of the market's real moves start here.

The SEC chip narrows the feed to filings, scored and summarized.

The forms that matter

You don't need to know every form, but a handful come up constantly:

• 8-K — material events, filed as they happen. The one to watch. Common items include earnings results (item 2.02), executive or director changes (5.02), a cybersecurity incident (1.05), and a completed acquisition (2.01).
• 10-K and 10-Q — the annual and quarterly reports, with the full financial picture.
• Form 3 / Form 4 — insider ownership and trades. Covered in Insider trades.
• 13F — quarterly institutional holdings. See Institutional holdings.
• SC 13D / SC 13G — a 5%+ stake, activist (13D) or passive (13G).
• S-1 — an IPO registration, the first look at a company coming public.
• S-3 and 424B — shelf registrations and the offerings that come off them, which can dilute existing holders.
• DEF 14A — the proxy statement, including pay and shareholder votes.
• 144 — notice of a proposed insider sale.
• 6-K, 20-F, F-1 — the equivalents for foreign issuers.

Isolating one form

When you only care about one type, open the Form filter in the filter row and pick it. Set it to 8-K to watch material events as they post, or to Form 4 to follow insider trades. Combine it with the Impact slider to keep just the filings that score high enough to matter.

TIP

Save your most-used form as a preset. An "8-K, impact 6+" view surfaces the material events worth reading without the routine paperwork in between.
