10-K analysis
Read annual filings for long-term business quality.
A strong 10-K review focuses on the business model, margin structure, cash generation, capital allocation, balance-sheet durability, and the risk factors management is willing to disclose in detail.
What to review in a 10-K
Start with the business description and segment mix. Then move through the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement to identify what changed over the full year and what appears durable.
Pay close attention to risk factors, commitments, liquidity, dilution, share repurchases, and the tone of management's annual discussion.
