You love math, just...not a lot of it. So if you’re looking for the numbers of a company, you’ll want to check out the condensed financials.
At the most, you’ll find a few dozen lines to describe each item which, in its filings, can be hundreds of lines long in the detailed version. Financials are a summary form of earnings statement, balance sheet, and cash flow. Just the key highlights...maybe only a dozen or so lines to describe each item which, in its filings, can be hundreds of lines long in the detailed version. Condensed financials are the dessicated, freeze dried form of financials. Like that weird milk in a can.
