20-F Filings

Overview

The 20-F is the comprehensive annual report that foreign private issuers file with the SEC—the international equivalent of the 10-K.

We monitor 45,000+ tickers globally for SEC filings. Not every international company files 20-Fs, but when they do, we catch them. Our pipeline extracts and analyzes the full document—with particular emphasis on sections covering business overview, risk factors, and operating/financial review, where companies disclose their strategic priorities, operational challenges, and forward-looking concerns.

Each filing is classified into one or more of 70+ event subtypes 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.

Data Activation

Timing

detected_at is when Autobound extracted the signal. Use filing_year to understand which fiscal year the filing covers, and source_url for verification.

Use data.filing_date to understand when the filing was actually submitted to the SEC.

Uniqueness

One signal per subtype per company per fiscal year. 20-F is the international equivalent of 10-K for foreign private issuers.

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.

Best Practices

• Filter on relevance and confidence both above 0.9 for high-precision use cases
• Build picklists from signal_subtype values
• Use data.filing_year for triggering rather than specific dates
