Bob's Research vs Yahoo Finance
Most people check a stock on a finance portal first. This page is about what you don't get there: what the company actually said in its annual report.
The short answer
Keep Yahoo Finance for prices, news and the numbers at a glance. Use Bob, the AI 10-K reader, when you want to know what's underneath them: the thesis, the buried risks and a rating of the filing, in plain English with the source linked.
Numbers versus the narrative
Portals show the income statement, the balance sheet, the analyst consensus and the chart. They summarise the market and the accounts. They do not tell you that 40% of revenue comes from two customers, or that the debt matures in 2028, unless you go and read the filing.
Bob reads the filing and tells you those things. He also shows RSI, MACD and support and resistance, so for a quick technical look you don't need to switch tabs.
When Yahoo Finance is the better pick
- You want live quotes, news and portfolio tracking.
- You want consensus estimates and price targets.
- You want it free.
When Bob is the better default
- You want to understand the business, not the quote.
- You want the risks the company disclosed, in plain English.
- You want a rating that only changes when the filing does.
