SEC Earnings Analyzer
Break down a company's latest earnings using actual SEC filings — not headlines. Get the real numbers, management's narrative, and material events in one pass.
The Challenge
When a prospect reports earnings, you need to know the numbers fast — not tomorrow, not after reading a 200-page 10-Q. But skimming headlines gives you a surface-level view. The real insights are buried in MD&A sections, 8-K disclosures, and the gap between reported numbers and analyst expectations.

Tools
- @SEC/Search Filings — Find 8-K, 10-Q, and 10-K filings for the target company
- @SEC/Extract Filing Section — Pull specific sections like Management Discussion & Analysis (Item 7) or Risk Factors (Item 1A)
- @SEC/Get Financial Summary — Get the headline numbers: revenue, net income, EPS
- @Crunchbase/Get Organization — Check funding history, investors, and IPO details for additional context
- @google_search — Find analyst consensus estimates, earnings call transcripts, and market reaction
Input
The user will provide a company name or ticker symbol, and optionally specify what aspect of earnings they want to focus on.
Example: "What did Palantir report last quarter?" or "Analyze MongoDB earnings and compare to analyst estimates"
Context
What to Analyze
For each earnings period:
- Revenue vs. consensus estimate (beat/miss and by how much)
- EPS vs. consensus estimate
- Forward guidance — did management raise, maintain, or lower outlook?
- Key metrics the company highlights (ARR, RPO, net retention, etc.)
- Any material events from 8-K filings (executive changes, acquisitions, restatements)
Research Strategy
- Search SEC for the company's most recent 10-Q or 10-K filing
- Pull the financial summary for headline numbers
- Extract Management Discussion & Analysis (section 7 for 10-K, part1item2 for 10-Q) for management's own narrative
- Search for recent 8-K filings to catch material events
- Check Crunchbase for funding rounds, IPO date, and investor base
- Google the company's earnings to find analyst estimates and market reaction
What Counts as a Valid Result
- Revenue and EPS must come from the actual SEC filing — not news articles
- Analyst estimates should be clearly labeled as external data
- Note the exact filing date and period of report
- If the company hasn't reported yet, say so — don't speculate on results
