What is EDGR?
EDGR is a free stock market newsletter built from your own watchlist: a pre-market brief before the open and a post-market recap after the close, with the news, SEC filings and analyst ratings for each ticker you follow.
You type in the tickers you follow. Every weekday, EDGR reads the filings, newswires and analyst notes on those names, drops the noise and repeats, ranks what's left by how much it matters, and emails you a short brief at the times you pick.

EDGR, SEC EDGAR and EDGAR Online
EDGR (edgr.news) is not SEC EDGAR, the Securities and Exchange Commission's filing system; EDGR reads company filings from EDGAR and summarizes them. EDGR was also the Nasdaq ticker of EDGAR Online, Inc., a financial-data company RR Donnelley agreed to buy in 2012. edgr.news has no connection to either.
EDGAR does matter to EDGR, though: when a company on your list files an 8-K (a material event) or someone discloses a 5% stake on a 13D or 13G, the brief tells you what the filing says, with a link to the original on sec.gov.
How a brief is made
- Collect. For each ticker on your list, EDGR pulls from six sources:
- SEC EDGAR: 8-K material events and 13D/G stake disclosures
- Finnhub: company news for every symbol on your list
- GlobeNewswire: company press releases
- Finviz: analyst upgrades, downgrades and price-target changes
- Google News: financial press, filtered to a publisher allow-list
- Grok: web and X search for small caps the other sources missed
- Filter. Pump sites, content farms, quote pages and option chains are dropped, and so is any link you already got this week.
- Rank. FDA decisions, deals, lawsuits, guidance changes and executive moves come first; routine items come last.
- Summarize. An AI model summarizes each story in neutral language from the source text. Summaries report what happened, with no predictions or calls to buy or sell.
- Send. The pre-market brief covers everything since the last close (the whole weekend on Mondays). The post-market recap covers the trading day.
What's in each brief
- Snapshot: last price, day change and the pre-market or after-hours move for each ticker. A move of 2% or more gets the story behind it.
- Top stories: the biggest events on your list, ranked by severity, not by time.
- Analyst ratings: upgrades, downgrades and price-target changes, with the old and new target side by side.
- By ticker: everything else, grouped by symbol.
You can see one for your own tickers, with no account, on the preview page.
Questions people ask
Is EDGR the same as SEC EDGAR?
No. EDGAR is the SEC's public database of company filings. EDGR is a newsletter that reads 8-K and 13D/G filings from EDGAR, alongside newswires and analyst ratings, and summarizes what they say about the tickers on your watchlist.
Who is EDGR for?
People who own or follow individual US stocks and want the news on those names before the open and after the close, without checking a dozen sites.
How much does EDGR cost?
One watchlist of up to 10 tickers is free for good. Each extra watchlist is $10 a year.
How are the summaries written?
An AI model summarizes each story in neutral language from the source text. Pump sites, content farms, quote pages and links you already got this week are dropped before anything is summarized.
Does EDGR need access to my brokerage account?
No. You type in the tickers you want to follow. EDGR never connects to a brokerage account and never places trades.
Is there a Discord bot?
Yes. The EDGR Discord bot manages the same watchlists, and the web app at edgr.news is the main way in.
Is EDGR investment advice?
EDGR reports what happened. It makes no buy or sell calls and is not investment advice; EDGR is not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer.
