Prompt
There are three different ways to find a healthcare company for your final project
First, you may choose the company that you work for, but you must have access to its financials. You may also search for your company on this website: http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html.
Second, you can go to a different page of the SEC: https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/webusers.htm and find a healthcare-related company. This site can be difficult to navigate, so here are some general notes: This page shows recently submitted 10-K forms from day to day that detail out a company’s annual financial information. Each time you check this page, it may change, so when you find a company, be sure to write down the company name and CIK code, provided on this page.
To find a company specifically within the healthcare field, look for companies with a SIC code of 8000, 8082, or 8090. The SIC code is found by clicking the 10-K link associated with a particular company. The resulting screen will have detailed information on the company at the bottom of the page, including the four-digit SIC code in bold red text. Look carefully, as there is a lot of information on these screens. If none of the companies that are available to you this way have a healthcare-related code, you can try to search another way.
Lastly, you can return to the SEC search page http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html and search for a company by the SIC (or Standard Industry Classification) code. On this page, click “More Options” under the Company Name search bar. This will open more search bars. Search by Standard Industry Classification (SIC) and enter in one of the following codes: 8000, 8082, 8090. Do not fill out any other field. Click “Search.” The resulting page will have a list of healthcare-related companies. Now it is up to you to find one that contains a 10-K form. Do this by clicking on the company CIK code, which will take you to the company’s specific page within the SEC. Here, you can search for a 10-K form. Not all companies will have one, so you may have to manually search through a few before you find a suitable candidate.
Utilize the resources below for additional support with selecting a suitable company to focus on for this project:
