Would this rule have fired?

SEC EDGAR XBRL companyfacts

Revenue Growth 1Y stays at or above 0.0%

Coverage

Apple Inc. reports revenue in all 30 filed fiscal years we test against, FY1996 to FY2025, so Revenue Growth 1Y can be measured in 29 of them. The oldest has no year before it on file to compare against, which is arithmetic and not a gap in the filings. The rule is re-checked every night.

This page prints only figures that resolve to a document on sec.gov. 31 further fiscal years are held for this company from a commercial data feed, and are left out here rather than shown without a filing you can open.

Result

This rule would have fired 2 times: FY2019, FY2023.

What this is not

It is not a backtest. It does not model what a portfolio would have returned, it compounds nothing, and it does not know what the share price did. It answers one question: on the accounts this company filed, in which years was that condition false? Every entry above is a fiscal year, a filed figure and the filing it came from.

Doing this once is arithmetic on public documents. Doing it every night, against the newest filed accounts, and writing to you the day a condition you wrote down stops being true, is the subscription. The check runs every night at 23:30 UTC. A filing is picked up the night after it is published.

Test another rule

Name a US-listed company and one numeric condition you would want to hold. We run it against every annual account that company has filed with the SEC and show you each fiscal year in which it was false, with the figure and the filing it came from.

The condition is yours. We do not propose one, and nothing below is a view on any company.

Margin Notes

Once a week, what changed in the filings of US-listed companies, why it can matter to a thesis, and what deserves a closer review. Grounded in filings, not market noise.
