EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval)

EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval) is the online system used by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to collect, store, and share important financial and corporate information from publicly traded companies. It allows investors, regulators, and the public to easily access filings such as annual reports, quarterly reports, and other disclosures. This streamlines transparency and ensures timely availability of financial data, helping stakeholders make informed decisions and monitor corporate compliance with securities laws.
