Where each number comes from

From the 8-K with item 2.02 ("Results of Operations and Financial Condition") that Waters filed on EDGAR, the SEC's public database; only those with their 10-Q or 10-K behind them count, so other 8-Ks with the same item (production figures, monthly sales) stay out. The time is converted to New York time using this specific company's stamp convention (its EDGAR stamp arrives in UTC), and it is not assumed: it was read off the filing's official header. In 1 of this company's 69 quarters the date comes from the EDGAR acceptance day rather than the 8-K cover box, and it is flagged with an asterisk in the table.

What this data does not know

  • The exact time of the press release: the 8-K reaches EDGAR minutes or hours later, so Waters's median 06:35 is an upper bound. The session says which one the news landed in, not what minute it was said.
  • Nothing before Jul 28, 2009: it is Waters's oldest quarter with announcement and report paired in the file.
  • What will happen. The page's only future date, Nov 3, 2026, was announced by Waters on the Nasdaq calendar and can be moved. Waters reporting before the open 14 quarters in a row does not say the next one will be the same.
  • Waters's identity is its SEC CIK (0001000697), not its symbol: symbols get recycled and renamed.
