SEC What Changed: 10-K Filing Snapshot for 4 June 2026

A ranked snapshot of 10-K language changes for companies that filed annual reports on 4 June 2026.

SEC What Changed: 10-K Filing Snapshot for 4 June 2026

Four companies filed 10-K reports on 4 June 2026. Four filings had a prior-year 10-K available for comparison and are ranked below. In this analysis, cosine similarity runs from 0 to 1 because it is calculated on non-negative text vectors. A score near 1 means the texts are very similar; a lower score means they are less similar and more language has changed.

We compare three high-signal 10-K sections. Business describes what the company does and how the operating model is changing. Risk Factors shows what management is warning investors about, including new, removed, or softened risks. MD&A explains the drivers of financial performance, liquidity, and management’s view of the business. Comparing similarity across these sections helps surface quiet but potentially important disclosure changes that can be hard to spot manually.

Further, our use of "net debt" may vary from the use of similarly titled measures by other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation. Executive Summary Fiscal 2026 results were influenced by larger crops in several of our key operating origins, notably those in Africa and South America, a consistent factor throughout the fiscal year. Larger crops generally reduce the per-unit cost of procuring green tobacco and provide us with opportunities to source higher volumes from our global supplier base.

Larger crops generally reduce the per-unit cost of procuring green tobacco and provide us with opportunities to source higher volumes from our global supplier base.

Why?

The average 10-K is ~6x longer than in 1995 and the number of textual changes has risen ~12x, making attention and processing harder. Simple changes in 10K’s and 10Q’s can be highly informative. When a company quietly rewrites parts of its 10K/10Q it tends to go unnoticed at first. These changes often foreshadow tougher fundamentals and weaker future returns. The objective is that firms who change more, AKA "changers" earn systematically lower future returns – in large part due to firms adding in negative information into their 10K’s. In short: small wording shifts can be big information. For further information read the "Research" section for more details. Below I present the results of today’s analysis.
