Subsidiary Financials

Public companies are not required to provide information about subdivisions, subsidiaries, or business units. Therefore, depending on the company, it might be hit or miss. Here are three methods to consider:

  • Annual reports and 10Ks
    Larger companies or conglomerates provide business segment reporting as part of their annual reports and 10Ks.
  • News articles
    In some cases, divisions or subsidiaries have their own Web sites with further information. Information about their strategies or sales figures can often be found in press releases from the subsidiary itself, and bits and pieces in business, trade, and news articles.

1. Type Your Company in the initial screen.
2. When the Company Profile appears, scroll down the first page to find all the pertinent financial information.
3. Analyst reports can be found under Ratios.
