About ALFA USA News

What we publish

ALFA USA News reports material disclosures that US-listed companies file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). When a company files a current report — an acquisition, a divestiture, a contract win, a capital raise, a licensing deal, a partnership, a capacity expansion or a regulatory approval — or reports its quarterly results, we report what the filing says, what the numbers are, and link the original document on SEC EDGAR.

We are a filings desk, not a tips service. We do not publish price targets, buy or sell calls, or forecasts of where a share price will go. Every article can be checked against a filing any reader can open.

Why we exist

SEC filings are public the moment they are filed, but they are not easy to read. Thousands arrive every day, in long legal language, and the material ones look the same as the routine ones until somebody opens them. ALFA USA News exists to find the filings that matter soon after they are filed and turn them into something a reader can understand.

How fast we are

Our system watches SEC EDGAR continuously. Alerts to subscribers of our parent product, ALFA Finder, go out soon after a filing appears. Articles take a little longer, because the filing has to be read and the figures written up; they are typically published within minutes. Every article shows its exact publication time, in US Eastern time.

Where our information comes from

• The filing itself. Every article is written from the original SEC filing, which is linked on the article page.
• Company statements. Where a company attaches a press release or a quote to its filing, we quote it and attribute it.
• Market data. Share price, market cap, revenue, P/E and similar reference figures come from a third-party market data provider, and are labelled as such.

How the newsroom works

Our system watches SEC EDGAR around the clock, so a story can be published within minutes of a filing. Editors set which filings are worth a story and answer for the stories under their names. Our Editorial Policy sets out each step.
