Positions: the company’s SEC filings. Spotted an error, or is this you and you’d like it corrected or removed? Contact us
How this is compiled
Who runs the company now comes from primary sources only: for US companies, the CEO and CFO signatures on the latest SEC report, and a separate board chair from the proxy statement (DEF 14A); for Russian and Kazakh issuers, the company website and its disclosures. We recheck weekly; if a name can’t be confirmed, or a leadership-change filing came out after the report, we don’t show it until it’s reviewed. History comes from proxy statements, disclosures, Wikipedia and Wikidata; years show when a term started and ended, “since” means the person is in office now. An outcome for a previous employer is shown only when the linked document states it.

How we calculate
Figures are annual report lines; if a year was later restated (discontinued operations, mergers), we use the latest filing that shows it. Free cash flow is operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; dividends are cash paid to common shareholders during the year. “—” means the line isn’t in the filing. “—*” in revenue: we don’t show that year’s revenue — the annual figure is more than 2% off the sum of the quarters, or the filing tags several revenue lines and the total can’t be pinned down. The table starts in 2011; where the listed issuer changed (holding reorganization, redomicile), earlier years come from the predecessor’s filings.
Shareholders’ equity at Jun 30, 2026: $23.1B (36% of total assets). Compare with other S&P 500 companies →
