Track the material disclosures companies are required to file. Provide a list of tickers (or SEC CIKs) and get each company's recent 8-K material events (M&A, executive changes, earnings, restatements, bankruptcy, delisting), automatically classified into plain-English categories and scored by materiality (0-100). See them the same day, not days later.

What it does

  • Item-code classification: turns cryptic codes (1.01, 4.02, 5.02) into readable categories.
  • Materiality score 0-100: bankruptcy, restatement and control changes rank highest; routine exhibits lowest.
  • High-impact flagging across a multi-company watchlist.
  • A direct SEC EDGAR link for every event.

Who uses 8-K data

  • Traders and quants monitoring corporate events.
  • Fintech and research apps embedding classified events.
  • Risk, compliance and investor-relations teams tracking disclosures.

How it works

The tool reads each company's filing history from the official SEC EDGAR submissions API, which exposes 8-K item codes directly. No fragile document scraping. Ticker-to-CIK resolution is automatic.

Example

Tesla recent 8-Ks classified: earnings (m60), executive change (m70), material agreement (m70). High-impact events flagged first.

FAQ

How fast after a filing?

8-Ks appear on EDGAR within minutes of submission. Run on a schedule to catch them same-day.

Do I need a CIK?

No, just use the ticker. The tool resolves it.

Is this investment advice?

No. It is data for research and monitoring. Historical patterns do not guarantee future results.
