Financial Research

Extract official financials from SEC filings and cross-reference with analyst consensus. Public companies only.

When to use

• User asks for a company's financials: "revenue of NVIDIA", "Apple's latest 10-K"
• User asks for analyst sentiment: "what are analysts saying about TSLA?"
• User provides a ticker with no clear verb: "MSFT" → assume they want a financial overview
• User wants an earnings summary before or after a release

Do NOT use for private company research, crypto, or macro/market commentary — deep-research handles those better.

Strategy

1. Resolve the ticker.

   • User gave a ticker: use it directly.
   • User gave a company name: search "<company> stock ticker" and confirm from the top result.

2. Get the latest SEC filing.

   • Use the sec.gov playbook to locate the most recent 10-K (annual) or 10-Q (quarterly).
   • Scrape the filing index page, then the primary filing document.
   • Extract: revenue, net income, operating income, EPS (basic and diluted), gross margin, forward guidance if given.

3. Get analyst consensus.

   • Use the finance.yahoo.com playbook for the analyst tab.
   • Extract: consensus rating, average / low / high price target, number of analysts covering.

4. Cross-reference.

   • If the user asked for a specific metric, verify it against at least two sources.
   • Flag discrepancies between the filing and third-party aggregators.

5. Call formatOutput with the structured result.
