SEC 6-K Filings

Analysis of SEC Form 6-K filings for foreign private issuers (non-US companies listed on US exchanges). 6-K is the international equivalent of 10-Q/8-K combined—companies file it for quarterly results, press releases, material events, and any significant announcements.

Why This Insight Matters

More Frequent Than 20-F — Multiple 6-K filings per year vs. annual 20-F, providing fresher signals.
Global Enterprise Coverage — Same international companies as 20-F (SAP, ASML, Toyota, TSMC, etc.).
Event-Driven — Captures material events, earnings releases, and strategic announcements in near real-time.
Budget Signals — CapEx announcements, guidance updates, and investment priorities.

Example Output

"Saw that TSMC just approved $15.1B in capital expenditure for advanced technology and capacity expansion—$7.3B for advanced tech alone. With that level of infrastructure investment, I imagine there's significant demand for [your solution] to support the build-out. Would love to show you how we've helped other semiconductor leaders manage similar expansion projects."
