10-Q Filings
Strategic signals extracted from quarterly SEC 10-Q filings.
The 10-Q is the quarterly report that US public companies file with the SEC — same analytical depth as a 10-K, but covering a single fiscal quarter.
Every week, we scan SEC EDGAR for new filings across 8,000+ publicly traded companies. For any 10-Q 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 quarterly performance updates, emerging challenges, and strategic pivots that weren't visible in the prior annual filing.
Each filing is classified into one or more of 70+ event subtypes (cost reduction initiatives, margin pressure, competitive threats, 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.

Each filing is classified into one or more of 70+ event subtypes (cost reduction, margin pressure, cybersecurity investments, competitive dynamics, and more) — the specific business events we extract from the document.

Standard envelope and entity fields are shared across all signals — see Schema and Resolution. The fields below are specific to this signal:

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
summary | string | One-line headline describing the signal (e.g., "Snap disclosed a $150M cost reduction program targeting infrastructure spend"). Designed to be shown directly to end users as a notification or list item. Typically 10–20 words, always includes the company name and the core event |
detail | string | Multi-sentence analysis written for a salesperson or account executive.

Timing & Delivery
detected_atis when we processed the filing. Usefiling_dateandsource_urlfor the original submission context.- One signal per subtype per company per quarter. A single 10-Q can produce multiple signals across different subtypes, but won't fire the same subtype twice for the same filing.
- Each delivery arrives in a timestamped folder. Treat all signals in a new folder as recent — no need to diff against prior deliveries.
This signal shares its schema with the other SEC filing signals (10-K, 8-K, 10-Q, 20-F, 6-K).
Coverage
- Refresh: Weekly
