Search within SEC Filings: WordsAnalytics (New!)
WordsAnalytics offers detailed searches within Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings back to 2001. Criteria, which users can apply and combine, include:
- form type
- keywords
- financial metrics
- agreements and contracts
- subsidiary lists
- 1000+ pre-programmed search strings
This resource also lets users export text to Word or PDF & tables to Excel.
The powerful “analytics” tool assembles word counts within reports (or paragraphs) and compares them to the text’s total; this shows company well-being. For example:
Apple Inc. 10-K 2012
Sentiment(+):0.24%; Sentiment(-):1.62%; Risk:0.3%; Litiguous:2.63%; Fog:21.12%;
Help videos on WordsAnalytics explain both how to conduct searches and what they mean.
