The Filings Docket Corporate filings, explained: what large U.S. companies filed with the SEC, and what it means.

Methodology & data sources

How is the Filings Docket built?

Updated

Every entry comes from the SEC's public EDGAR submissions API. The current snapshot was retrieved Oct. 16, 2026 for 100 companies. Deadlines use the SEC's 10-K and 10-Q rules; next-report windows combine those rules with each company's own filing history.

Data sources

  • Company list: the SEC's company tickers file. We walk it from the top, keep domestic operating companies that file Form 10-K, and stop at 100. Foreign private issuers (Form 20-F) and funds are skipped. The SEC does not document the file's order, so the list is a reproducible selection, not a ranking.
  • Filings: the EDGAR submissions API (data.sec.gov/submissions/CIK##########.json), which returns each filing's form, filing date, report period, accession number, primary document and, for 8-Ks, item codes.
  • Rules: Form 10-K and Form 10-Q General Instructions, Exchange Act Rules 0-3, 12b-2 and 12b-25, and the Form 8-K instructions, linked from each article.

Refresh and freshness

A script on our build machine requests the data with a descriptive User-Agent that includes our contact address and stays below the SEC's fair-access limit of 10 requests per second. Pages are then rebuilt as static HTML. Each page shows the snapshot date. If a request fails, the last good record for that company is kept and marked as stale; no values are invented or interpolated.

How the docket groups filings

The home page shows the last seven calendar days of filings ending at the snapshot date. Several filings of the same form by the same company on the same day (common for Form 4) are collapsed into one line with a count. Plain-English labels come from the form type and, for 8-Ks, the item codes the company reported, mapped to the item titles in the Form 8-K instructions.

How due dates and windows are computed

  1. The next fiscal period end is estimated from the latest 10-Q or 10-K period: month-end calendars advance three months; 52/53-week calendars advance 91 days.
  2. The period is treated as a fiscal year end (10-K) if it falls within seven days of the fiscal year end the company reports to the SEC.
  3. The deadline uses the filer status in the SEC data: 10-K 60, 75 or 90 days; 10-Q 40 or 45 days. A deadline on a weekend or U.S. federal holiday rolls to the next business day (Rule 0-3).
  4. The expected window uses the company's own past lags (last three 10-Ks or last eight 10-Qs): earliest, median and latest, capped at the deadline.

These are projections from public rules and history, not company announcements. Companies can file earlier, and a 12b-25 notice extends a deadline.

Known limits

  • We show filing dates, not times. The submissions API's acceptance timestamp is not reliably in UTC, so we do not present it as an exact time.
  • Only the most recent filings in the API's "recent" block are used, which is enough for the docket and lag history but not a full archive.
  • Item codes describe the category of an 8-K, not its content. Read the filing for substance.
