Q. How do I find a company's 10k report?

You can find a 10k report from the “investor relations” section of its website OR in the Mergent Online database under “reports.”

NOTE: You will only find a 10k report for publicly traded companies! The federal securities laws require public companies to disclose information on an ongoing basis.

 

A 10-K is an annual report required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that gives a comprehensive summary of a public company’s performance, an overview of the company's business and financial condition, and includes audited financial statements.

To find a company’s 10K report using Mergent:

1) Open Blackboard and click on the “library” tab

2) Select “databases” under the “research/explore” dropdown menu

3) Click on Mergent, either under "Company & Industry" in the Subject list, or scroll down to "M" in the A - Z list

4) Search by company name

5) Go to the “Reports” tab

6) Select the most recent 10k report
