Filings we support

SECSift opens any filing a company made since 2001. The filings list shows the types below first, since they tell a company's financial and business story.

To see everything else, select "Show every filing" (layers icon) above the list and choose "On". Registration statements, amendments, correspondence, prospectuses, and every other form then join the list, up to the company's last 1,000 filings.

Core reports

Most US companies report on three forms:

  • 10-K: The annual report. A full look at the year, with the audited financial statements, the business, and the risks. This is the big one.
  • 10-Q: The quarterly report. A shorter update filed three times a year, between the annual reports.
  • 8-K: An event report, filed when something worth telling investors happens, like quarterly earnings, a new deal, or a leadership change. The filings list shows the 8-Ks that report results, and "Show every filing" adds the rest.

Foreign companies

Companies based outside the United States file on a different set of forms:

  • 20-F: The annual report for a foreign company. The overseas version of a 10-K.
  • 40-F: The annual report for a Canadian company. A 40-F often wraps the real report inside attachments, and SECSift pulls those out so you read the actual report, not a cover page.
  • 6-K: A foreign company's update during the year. Many foreign companies report quarterly results this way, since they don't file a 10-Q.

Governance and ownership

These cover who runs the company and who owns it:

  • DEF 14A: The proxy statement. Covers executive pay, the board, and the items shareholders vote on.
  • Forms 3, 4, and 5: Insider filings. Form 3 reports what an officer, director, or large owner holds, Form 4 reports a trade, and Form 5 is the year's catch-up. These open in a view built for the form, with a plain-English summary and a table of the transactions. A Form 4 also shows the insider's recent trades at the company.
  • SC 13D: Filed when an investor takes a stake above 5% with plans to influence the company. Often an activist.

Offerings and mergers

These cover new shares and deals:

  • S-1: A registration statement, most often for an IPO. The prospectus covers the business, the risks, how the shares are sold, and who's selling them.
  • S-4 and F-4: Filed for a merger or a stock exchange offer. They cover the deal terms, the background, and the fairness opinion.

Limits by form

A few features only work on some forms:

  • Compare: Not offered for Forms 3, 4, and 5, SC 13D, S-4, or F-4.
  • Similar tables: Only on 10-K, 10-Q, 20-F, 40-F, 6-K, and 8-K filings.
  • PDF filings: A filing the company sent as a PDF opens as the file itself, without Sift, Compare, or Ask this filing.

Note: Some of these forms hide the real report inside attachments, or put the important sections in an unusual place. SECSift is built to find the actual content in each form, so the reader and the AI see the full filing, not just a cover page.
