Annalist Financial Statements

Find companies covered by Annalist by name, ticker, SEC CIK or id, optionally filtered by country. Returns each company's id (used by the other tools), identifiers, sources and latest snapshot.

One answer on a company, the first call for a question about it: identity, sector, latest snapshot, revenue and net income of the latest quarter (or fiscal year) with their change against a year earlier, the latest value of each measure of the directory (margins, returns, growth, debt, liquidity) with its period and unit, the current key findings with their source document ids, 3 peers, data quality and links to the page and the workbook.

Figures of one statement for one company from its latest snapshot, filtered by period and item. Every row gives its period with start and end dates, whether each value is reported or derived, and the source document ids of its values; item units are in `items`. Cite the snapshot and the source document id.

Ratios computed from a company's latest snapshot by formulas with stable ids (bank.roe, corp.roic). Every value gives its unit, period and the snapshot figures it was computed from, each with its value and source document ids. Banks use the bank template (quarterly values annualised); other companies use the corporate template (annual, quarterly and trailing four quarters, ttm), which includes credit metrics, liquidity, earnings quality and forensic scores; scores, credit reconciliations and the liquidity cover also give their parts, named with their coefficients in the catalogue. A value computed with an estimated input, such as the lease cost of the latest fiscal year for quarters that do not report it, names it in estimates; a ratio that a rule leaves out for the company gives the reason in excluded. Call without ratios to list the catalogue of one frequency.

The key findings of a company, written by fixed rules from its figures: each a sentence ready to quote with its rule, claim, state (New, Confirmed, Strengthened, Weakened), the period, the measure and the figures it states with their source document ids. Modules: overview (growth, margins, returns, net debt), credit (debt against the S&P benchmark bands), liquidity, quality (cash backing of earnings) and scores (Altman, Beneish, Piotroski). Pass history for the record of each finding across snapshots, and retired for findings that no longer apply.

Screen the companies of the coverage as the Screener page of Annalist does, or rank them by one measure. With screen, the conditions of the page joined by commas: roic.gt.12 (latest value above 12; lt below), roic.gt.12.y5 (above 12 in each of the last 5 fiscal years), om.up.3 (higher than the year before in each of the last 3 fiscal years; dn lower), dte.chg.gt.0.5.y1 (change over the last fiscal year above 0.5), roic.top.25 (among the highest 25% of the companies screened; bot the lowest; .s within the sector) and band.in.minimal-modest (credit and quality signals: band, cover, netdebt, fcf, backing, altman, piotroski, beneish). start runs a starting screen such as rising-debt or high-returns. Each company comes with the figures behind each condition and its page, and page links the same screen for a person. Without screen, where and sort filter and rank by the latest value of ratio ids with a frequency, as corp.roic@ttm or corp.current_ratio@quarterly; an amount such as corp.net_debt is ranked within its currency. Call without arguments to list the measures and the starting screens.

2 to 4 companies side by side, aligned on calendar quarters as Annalist Compare places their fiscal periods, so that companies whose fiscal years end in different months stand in the same quarter. Measures are ratio ids (corp.operating_margin, corp.roic, corp.revenue_growth, bank.roe; short names such as roic work) or statement items (revenue, net_income, total_assets, cfo). Ratios use the last 4 quarters where the ratio has them, else the quarter; a company that reports fiscal years only gives fiscal years. Each value gives the company's fiscal period, and each statement value its source document ids. Amounts stay in the currency of each company.

Corporate events of a company found by fixed rules in its filings: acquisitions, disposals, spin-offs, discontinued operations, reorganisations, stock splits, restatements, name changes and changes of fiscal year, each with its date, fiscal period, a sentence, the counterparty and amount where the filing names them, and its source document ids. Events are recorded for companies that file with the SEC.

How far the figures of a company are proven: the values published, confirmed by a check, confirmed by a second document, derived from reported figures and withheld, with the meaning of each measure; every withheld value with its reason and documents; and every restated figure with the first, latest and published value, each with its document and filing date.

The latest snapshot of a company: as-of period, release date and time of publication, coverage, conventions (units, signs, fiscal calendar), validation summary, available statements, files with SHA-256 and the citation format. With at, the snapshot that was the latest on that date (point in time).

Every snapshot that the site has published for a company, oldest first, with its as-of period, dataset hash and time of publication: the point-in-time record of the coverage. Pass a date of it as at to get_statement, get_snapshot_info, get_sources, get_events or get_data_quality for the figures as they stood then.

Source documents of a company's latest snapshot: kind, period, release or filing date (indexed: the date an index added a report that states no date of publication), URL of the official document or of the search page of its store, and SHA-256 of the file used. Pass the document ids found in a statement's sources to resolve them.

Run the buyout model 1.0 of Annalist Deal Lab on a company's published figures, at its starting values or with the caller's assumptions under the keys of the address of the page (entry, exit_mult, years, debt, growth, margin, tax, base and the others that the starting values list). Returns the returns, sources and uses, the debt schedule, the covenants and the checks of the model, optionally the 3 solvers, every input with its source document ids, and the address of the same deal on the site. Shares and rates are fractions (0.2 for 20%) and multiples are times EBITDA. The result is arithmetic on published figures and the caller's assumptions: it values no company, recommends no transaction and forecasts nothing.

Search the documents of Annalist for a question in words, as ChatGPT connectors and deep research do: the overview, key findings, statements and ratios of the companies that the question names, or the overviews of the companies of an industry or sector it names. Returns ids for fetch, titles and the address of each page. For a company id to pass to the other tools, use search_companies.

The full text of one document that search returned (an overview, key findings, a statement or the ratios of one frequency of a company), as JSON with its figures, units, periods and source document ids, with the address of its page for the citation.
