When analyzing a company, it is imperative that you get your hands on the company’s balance sheet, which usually means locating a copy of the company’s annual report, Form 10-K filing, or Form 10-Q filing.

The annual report is a document prepared by a company for all who are affiliated, including the shareholders, employees, and vendors. It outlines what happened in the business for the year.

The Form 10-K is an annual filing that the publicly traded companies are legally required to send to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It contains an explanation of company’s operations, how it generates revenue, and the markets in which it operates.

The Form 10-Q filing is a smaller version of the Form 10-K filing. It is filed at the end of business quarter with the SEC.
