Public companies are required to file financial information with the SEC. Each year a public company will produce a 10-K annual report.* This report provides valuable information that goes beyond the balance sheet and income statements. Usually, the entire year is recapped and you will learn about the external and internal forces affecting the company.
Read the 10-K closely, especially these two sections:
Item 1: Business
Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A")
*A a foreign company (a "foreign private issuer") that trades in the United States files a Form 20-F annual report. A foreign company files a 20-F if 50% or less of its outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. investors; once a company crosses that threshold it must file the same SEC forms as a U.S. company.
You can you usually locate a company's 10-K on the "Investor" section of the company's web site.
