SEC 8-K Material Event Monitor: Real-Time Filing Data, Classified and Scored
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.
