When you look for information about a company, begin by searching for their "Investor Relations" site, or "About" page, rather than their commerce website where they market and sell their products or services.
Investor relations websites are a standard part of a publicly-traded company’s web presence. Companies use these sites to present investors, potential investors, and media outlets with an attractive and coherent vision of the company’s operations and financial performance. These sites can include strategic, disclosure, financial, governance, corporate social responsibility, and other information. These pages are publicly available and intentionally easy to find. This information is presented with a purpose: to attract new investors.
Investor relations websites are publicly available on the web. Use your preferred search engine to search the name of the publicly-traded company and add the words “AND investor relations”.
Examples:
Review your results list for results that include the words "Investor Relations," "Investors," or "Shareholders" in the website title. You may also see "investor," "invest," "ir," "shareholders," or related terms in the URL of the website.
