EDGAR filings and stock quotes: the latest enhancements

Little changes can mean big improvements in the research experience. For example, recent enhancements to the EDGAR-SEC Filings database (EDGAR) and the Quotes Service can make your research more intuitive and precise:

  • Expandable menus on EDGAR search template. Expandable menus of check boxes have replaced the scrollable Form/Filing Type, Act, and Exhibit drop-down lists on the EDGAR search template. As a result, it is now easier to search multiple document types simultaneously and restrict your search to filing types, securities acts, and exhibits with more specificity. In addition, a new date restriction feature allows you to specify a date or date range without having to use terms and connectors.


  • Delisted stocks enhancements in Quotes Service. Since March 15, 2008, historical quotes for delisted stocks (i.e., stocks removed from an exchange voluntarily or involuntarily) have been available on Westlaw via the Quotes Service. Now a new Historical Stock Quote result from the Quotes Service is marked delisted (or similar term) if the stock is no longer traded. (Note: To retrieve historical stock quotes for delisted stock, you must search the Quotes Service by company name, not by ticker symbol.) In addition, the result more clearly distinguishes the date range you searched versus the dates the stock was available.
