Publicly traded companies in the United States need to file certain financial information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). While SEC filings are free to access, third-party resources add value to the information by offering their own analysis.
Private companies have fewer requirements to report financial information, so third-party resources usually rely on estimates to make their analysis.
