Single Company Time Series
The Time Series view summarizes a company’s last three years of filings.
Click into a cell to view the original, new and redlined text. Clicking on added or deleted text will navigate to the location in the new and original columns, respectively. Clicking on the original or new text will navigate to the appropriate place in the full document.
Interpreting the Data
10-Qs are redlined quarter-over-quarter. 10-Ks are redlined year-over-year.
Each section of the filing is summarized in one column. If a section is not present in a filing the cell will be blank.
The cell color is a measure of the total words changed, additions plus deletions. Darker cells have many changes, lighter cells have fewer changes.
The percent value is the net change in words / the number of words in the original text.
Watchlist Comparison
To view Section Redlining for a watchlist add the Section Redlining widget to your Dashboard.
The widget will pull the most recent filing for each company in the Watchlist.
The widget is limited to 100 companies. For watchlists with more than 100 companies, the 100 most recent filings will be shown.
