SEC EDGAR
Stocks · Filings & Ownership
The official source for U.S. company filings — 10-Ks, 10-Qs, 8-Ks, and insider forms, fully text-searchable.
Overview
SEC EDGAR is the official US Securities and Exchange Commission database of company filings, and the primary source for serious research on US-listed companies. Everything public companies are legally required to disclose is filed here, for free.
You can read annual reports (10-K), quarterly reports (10-Q), material-event disclosures (8-K), insider transactions (Forms 3, 4 and 5) and institutional holdings (13F), all fully text-searchable. When accuracy matters, going to the primary source on EDGAR beats relying on second-hand summaries.

Frequently asked questions
Is SEC EDGAR free?
Yes — EDGAR is a free public service of the US SEC, with no account required.
What's the difference between a 10-K and a 10-Q?
A 10-K is the comprehensive, audited annual report; a 10-Q is a lighter quarterly update. Both cover financials, risks and business operations.
Does EDGAR cover non-US companies?
It covers companies that file with the US SEC, which includes many foreign firms listed in the US (often via Form 20-F), but not purely domestic non-US listings.
