Field	Meaning
cik	The SEC’s ten-digit company number, with leading zeros.
name	The company’s name.
sic	Its Standard Industrial Classification code, or null.
country	Its country, or null.
fiscal_year_end	The month and day its fiscal year ends, as MMDD, or null.

reorganization	Set when this company is one of two CIKs of one business. See below. Otherwise null.

Reorganized companies

Sometimes a company puts a new parent above itself or moves its domicile. The SEC’s ticker file then lists the ticker under the new CIK, while the filings with statements sit under the old one. We keep a reviewed list of these cases, each backed by a filing that names the successor:

Ticker	CIK the SEC’s file lists	Older CIK, where the ticker goes today
XOM	2115436, ExxonMobil Holdings Corp	34088, Exxon Mobil Corp
NAVI, JSM	2152623, Navient Holdings, Inc.	1593538, Navient LLC, formerly Navient Corp
DTSS	2110423, Datasea Intelligent Technology Ltd.	1631282, Datasea Inc.

A ticker reaches one CIK, and we never join the two companies’ figures. Both company records carry the same reorganization object:

• new_cik: the CIK the SEC’s ticker file lists.
• filings_cik: the CIK whose filings hold the statements.
• tickers: the tickers involved.
• evidence: the SEC filings that show the reorganization.

The ticker moves to the new CIK once that CIK has statements of its own. Until then, the newest figures can sit under the new CIK: ask for it by number to see them. For example, XOM gives metrics through 2026-03-31 and statements through 2026-06-30, while CIK 2115436 holds revenue for 2026-06-30 and 2026-09-30.

The list is reviewed by hand, so a reorganization can be missing until someone reviews it. CBAT and WQEY may be the same case and haven’t been reviewed yet. A merger of two businesses, such as REAX, is not on the list: its older filings each belong to one of the two companies.
