The yearly report (10-K), explained
Once a year, every US-listed company files a full report with the SEC called the 10-K. It's longer and more detailed than the glossy annual report sent to shareholders, and its figures are checked by an independent auditor. Here is Goldman Sachs Group's latest one, part by part: what each part is, why people read it, and what it says. Filed Feb 25, 2026, covering the period to Dec 31, 2025.
