We read the filings,
so the signal finds you.
FilingSight turns SEC filings into structured, comparable analysis. Every figure traces back to EDGAR — no black boxes, no estimates dressed as fact. Below is exactly which filings we read and the red flags we surface from each.
Live example — from a real 10-K
SEC Filing Deep-Analysis · computed from SEC XBRL facts, not estimates
- Material weakness in internal controls: The term "material weakness" appears in 22 recent filing(s) (vs 2 in the prior period). This risk language is ongoing.
- NEW: Restatement of financial statements in latest filing: The term "restate" "financial statements" appears in recent 10-K/10-Q filings but was NOT present in the prior 24-month period. This is a new risk disclosure that warrants attention. Found in 8 filing(s).
- NEW: Impairment charge: Impairment charge appears in recent filings but not in the prior 24-month period. Monitor for materiality.

What we uncover in the numbers
These are the value discoveries computed from filing facts — the differentiated analysis you get on every company report.
Goodwill impairment risk
When goodwill is a large share of total assets, a non-cash impairment charge can hit earnings if acquired businesses underperform.
Why it matters: Flags balance-sheet fragility invisible from a P/E ratio.
Going-concern doubt
Auditor language questioning the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Why it matters: One of the most severe flags in any filing — surfaced directly, not buried in footnotes.
Material weakness in controls
Disclosed deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting.
Why it matters: Reported earnings may be less reliable; pairs with earnings-quality checks below.
Earnings–cash-flow divergence
Net income running ahead of operating cash flow — a classic quality-of-earnings warning.
Why it matters: Separates accounting profit from cash actually generated.
Gross-margin trend
Compression or expansion of gross margin period over period, with the magnitude in percentage points.
Why it matters: Pricing power, input costs and mix — the clearest profitability signal.
R&D intensity
Changes in R&D as a share of revenue — cuts can boost short-term earnings at the cost of the future.
Why it matters: Especially relevant for technology and pharma theses.
Deferred-revenue visibility
Growth in deferred revenue signals contracted but not yet recognized revenue — future top-line visibility.
Why it matters: A leading indicator for subscription and SaaS businesses.
Leverage building
Debt rising while equity contracts — a balance-sheet stretch.
Why it matters: Early pressure on solvency before it becomes a covenant issue.
Interest coverage
Operating earnings relative to interest, watched as it deteriorates below safe thresholds.
Why it matters: Quantifies how much breathing room exists on debt service.
Inventory & receivables buildup
Inventory or receivables growing faster than sales — often a demand-softening precursor.
Why it matters: Frequently precedes discounting, write-downs or guidance cuts.
Free-cash-flow deterioration
Declining FCF even as reported earnings hold up.
Why it matters: Cash generation, not accounting profit, funds dividends and buybacks.
Ownership flow & activism
13F institutional position shifts, 13D activist stakes, and insider Form 4 buy/sell sentiment.
Why it matters: What the smartest capital — and insiders — are actually doing.
Signals, combined
Single metrics rarely tell the whole story. FilingSight synthesizes cross-signal patterns — for example, inventory accumulation alongside margin compression is a classic demand-softening signal, and explicit going-concern language combined with deteriorating free cash flow is a severe warning. These synthesized findings appear in every report.
