AppLovin’s Fall
Earlier today, AppLovin stock experienced a 15% drop. This occurred after a Bloomberg reporter released information regarding an SEC investigation into the company. But how can you be among the first to know about these investigations and related news?
FOIASearch.com
FOIASearch.com is a website created to simplify searching through the SEC’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) logs. By entering a company name, like AppLovin, you can view all FOIA requests filed with the SEC that mention the company.
Crucially, you can also see how the SEC responded. A “B7A exemption” indicates the SEC believes releasing related records could interfere with an ongoing enforcement investigation, strongly suggesting that an investigation is underway.
The AppLovin Example
In July, a Bloomberg reporter filed a FOIA request concerning a potential investigation into AppLovin. In August, the SEC responded with a B7A exemption, effectively confirming the existence of an investigation.
Notably, AppLovin hadn’t disclosed this investigation. The information was newsworthy enough to be included in a newsletter two weeks prior to the public announcement, highlighting the likely undisclosed SEC investigation. The subsequent news report triggered the stock’s fall.
Beyond One Company
The power of FOIASearch.com isn’t limited to AppLovin. You can investigate other companies, like Roblox, and observe significant SEC investigative activity. Conversely, searching for a company like Sezzle reveals FOIA requests without any B7A exemptions, suggesting a lack of SEC investigation.
Newsroom Intel
You can even search for entire newsrooms to gain insight into their potential areas of focus. For example, viewing FOIA requests filed by The Wall Street Journal can serve as an indicator of stories they’re developing.
Portfolio Alerts
Instead of manually searching the website, you can sign up for email alerts related to your portfolio and desired news publications. By entering companies like Tesla, Apple, and newsrooms like The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg, you’ll receive monthly updates from FOIASearch.com. These updates will detail SEC FOIA requests matching your search terms and note any B7A exemptions issued by the SEC.
This tool simplifies navigating the SEC’s monthly FOIA logs, which can be complex and often overlooked by most investors.
Conclusion
FOIASearch.com offers a unique advantage, enabling you to anticipate market-moving news by tracking SEC FOIA requests and responses. This proactive approach helps you stay ahead of the curve in the stock market.
By using this tool, you can gain valuable insights into potential SEC investigations and news stories before they become public knowledge. Knowledge is power, and FOIASearch.com puts that power in your hands.
