An Example Showing Apple’s Income Statement over the Past 10 Years

As you search through a company’s financials, it becomes extremely tedious to get all of a company’s data in one place, with popular sites like Yahoo Finance only showing the last 3 years to free users. This makes it difficult to judge a company.

However, I found a website that, for the low price of free, allows you to see a company’s financials over the last 10 years. It also links to the company’s historical 10-K’s and 10-Q’s

The website is QuickFS.

All you need to do is create a free account using your email.

Limitations

With the free account, there are some limitations.

If you pay for QuickFS, you will gain access to 20 years of data as opposed to 10. The premium version also allows you to download their entire database in a single file. You can also use their API or export a company’s data to excel.

How to Download Data

Although the free version does not support downloading data, there is a way to work around this.

With this Chrome extension, you can copy tables on web pages.

Copytables — Chrome Web Store (google.com)

To use it, click on the icon then select Tables. Note that you can also select cells, columns, and rows, but this will allow you to quickly select the entire table.

Step 1

Next, click on the financial statement that you want to download. It should turn blue.

Step 2

Finally, right-click the selected area. In the context menu, go into Table then click copy.

Step 3

Now open Excel and paste in the data. You can format and analyze it however you like.

I hope that you find this website as useful as I do. Good luck investing.
