Which type of company are you researching?
Public companies:
▪ stock is owned by the public and is traded on the stock market
▪ required to file financial statements and other reports with the SEC
This makes it easier to find a lot of information on public companies.
Private companies:
▪ stock not sold to the general public and does not trade on an exchange
▪ not required to share financial information or other company news
Thus it can be more difficult to do research on private companies.
