Financials

Many of the information providers listed at the left pull their facts and figures directly from the corporate SEC filings - read the primary sources yourself:

LexisNexis: Select Business → SEC Filings in the left side navigation. Select report type (annual reports or 10-K reports) and dates from the menus and search by company name.

EDGAR Search: The SEC houses the reports on their website and are searchable through EDGAR. Filings back to 1994 are available.

(Not sure which form to use? This description of SEC forms (PDF) should help.)
