10-K Filings

Overview

The 10-K is the comprehensive annual report that US public companies are required to file with the SEC.

Every week, we scan SEC EDGAR for new filings across 8,000+ publicly traded companies. For any 10-K filed in the past 7 days, our pipeline extracts and analyzes the full document—with particular emphasis on the Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) and Risk Factors sections, where companies disclose their strategic priorities, operational challenges, and forward-looking concerns.

Each filing is classified into one or more of 70+ event subtypes (leadership changes, acquisitions, cost reduction initiatives, cybersecurity investments, etc.) using a model we've fine-tuned specifically for SEC document analysis.

A single filing can produce between 5-25 signals, depending on how many relevant initiatives or pain points can be inferred accurately from the document's content.

Available Subtypes

Data Activation

Timing

detected_at is when Autobound extracted the signal from the filing. The underlying business event may have occurred days or weeks earlier. Use filing_year to understand which fiscal year the filing covers, and source_url to access the original SEC filing for verification.

Use data.filing_date to understand when the filing was actually submitted to the SEC. This lets you calculate the lag between when the company filed and when we processed it.

Uniqueness

One signal per subtype per company per fiscal year. For example, if we detect ceoChange in Apple's FY2025 10-K, we won't fire another ceoChange for Apple until their FY2026 10-K is filed. Different subtypes from the same filing are separate signals (e.g., one company's 10-K might produce both ceoChange and aiInvestment).

Delivery

Each delivery arrives in a timestamped folder. Signals in that folder cover the window between this delivery and the previous one. Treat all signals in a new folder as recent and actionable—no need to diff against prior deliveries.

Example Output

"Saw that Applied Materials nearly doubled their CapEx to $2.26B this year—massive investment in US manufacturing capacity. If you're scaling infrastructure to support that kind of growth, would love to share how we're helping similar semiconductor companies optimize their facility buildouts."
