Peak 10-K season is January through March when most companies with December year-ends file.

Key Resources

What to look for

Compare revenue and expenses year-over-year, check for new risk disclosures, and look for any "going concern" warnings about company health.

Large companies file within 60 days after their fiscal year ends, mid-size companies in 75 days, and smaller companies in 90 days. Investors read the 10-K to understand revenue trends, risks, and management's outlook.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a 10-K replace the annual report mailed to shareholders?

Yes for most issuers. Companies may publish a glossy annual report for marketing, but Form 10-K is the legally required version and contains the full financial statements.

What happens if a company misses the 10-K deadline?

They file Form 12b-25 (NT 10-K). That grants up to 15 extra calendar days, but late Filers risk trading halts or listing deficiencies, so investors track NT filings closely.

Do 10-Ks require Inline XBRL tags?

Yes. Financial statements, footnotes, and schedules must be tagged in Inline XBRL under the SEC’s structured-data rules.

When are 10-K financials too stale for an offering?

Large accelerated/accelerated filers go stale after 135 days; all others after 90 days, prompting an update before marketing securities.
