EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval) Company Filings are a collection of documents that publicly traded companies and other entities are required to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These filings provide critical financial and operational information that helps investors, analysts, regulators, and researchers evaluate a company's performance, risks, and strategy.

EDGAR Filings can be used by investors to evaluate financial health of companies, comparing industry peers using consistent financial disclosures, and identify risks through management discussions and risk factor disclosures.. Analysts and researchers will be able to build models based on real company data, analyze trends across companies or industries, and detect corporate governance practices and changes. Legal and compliance professionals may ensure that disclosures meet regulatory requirements and conduct due diligence during M&A of investment deals. Finally, journalists can investigate corporate activity and report on executive compensation, mergers, financial restatements, and more.
