Where these numbers come from
Every column links to the filing it comes from on EDGAR. Last 12 months adds the latest year to date to the last 10-K and takes away the same months a year earlier. Debt is long-term debt including the part due within a year. A dash means the company did not report that line in a form we can read, never a zero. Gross profit, operating income and free cash flow are left out for banks, insurers and brokers, where they do not mean the same thing. Market cap uses the latest closing price and the share count from the cover of the latest filing. How we count
