Where the numbers come from. Every figure is from the company's own reports to the SEC: the annual 10-K, the quarterly 10-Q, and Form 4 for insider trades. When a company later restates a number, the restated figure is used. The ratios are worked out here from those filings and the last closing price.

Price / earnings is the share price divided by the last twelve months of earnings per share: what investors pay for each dollar of profit. Price / sales and price / book do the same against revenue and against shareholders' equity. A company with a loss over the last twelve months shows “n/m” (not meaningful) for price / earnings.

Free cash flow is cash from operations less capital spending — the cash left after keeping the business running. Free cash flow yield is that, over twelve months, as a percent of market value. Return on equity is twelve months of earnings divided by shareholders' equity; companies that have bought back a lot of stock can show very high figures because their equity is small.

Quarters. Companies never file a fourth quarter on its own. It is the 10-K year minus the first nine months, marked with an asterisk; its earnings per share is approximate because the share count changes during the year.

Insider trades. Officers, directors and 10% owners must report trades in their own company's stock on Form 4 within two business days. Open-market purchases (green) are rare and are the trades most watched as a signal: the insider spent their own money at the market price. Open-market sales (red) are common and happen for many reasons. A sale marked 10b5-1 plan was scheduled in advance under a written plan. Awards, option exercises and shares withheld for tax are listed for completeness but are not buy-or-sell decisions.

What is not covered. Funds and ETFs do not file company financial statements. Foreign companies that report under international standards (IFRS) are not covered yet. For class shares such as BRK.B, the filings report per-share figures for the company as a whole, so price-based ratios are not shown.
