Item Classification

Who files

Companies headquartered outside the U.S. that trade on American exchanges (like Toyota, Alibaba, or Shell).

Filed promptly after news is released in the company's home country—often the same day.

Market Dynamics

What's included

Earnings releases, financial statements, press releases, and investor presentations from the company's home market.

Track 6-Ks to catch earnings and news from international companies before U.S. market hours.

Key Resources

Key difference

Foreign companies often report using international accounting standards (IFRS) instead of U.S. GAAP, so numbers may not be directly comparable.

Foreign companies file 6-Ks whenever they release material information in their home country. This is how you track earnings, press releases, and major news from international companies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 6-K ever considered ‘filed’?

Yes when the issuer explicitly states the information is filed instead of furnished, typically when incorporating it into an offering document.

Do FPIs file 10-Q or 8-K forms?

No. FPIs rely on 20-F/40-F annual reports plus 6-K updates, so monitoring 6-Ks is the only way to catch interim disclosures.

Is Inline XBRL required on 6-Ks?

Only when the FPI submits financials equivalent to 10-Q/10-K disclosure; other 6-K materials are usually exempt.

How quickly must press releases be furnished on 6-K?

Promptly after they’re public in the home market—same-day furnishing is the norm to avoid selective disclosure concerns.
