Q. Help on getting the financial report of a company
Hi FIT Librarian:) I'm working on a project that needs financial information for the fashion company—Alexander Wang. I went on Hoover's and Business Insights Essentials, but no luck. Any other pointers?
Alexander Wang is a private company and isn't traded on the stock market, so they are not required to report financial information. I took a look in Hoover's and see the estimated annual sales listed but private companies don't usually report financial information if they don't have to, and this is why you aren't finding much more information listed here.
For private companies (not traded on the stock market), the best way to find information is to search for articles -- Try WWD and Business Source Complete on thelist of databases:
We have a Research Guide with additional information information to help you research company information:
Please let us know if you have any additional questions and we are happy to help.
(November 2023) ETA, CB Insights is a good database to try for for details on privately-held companies; although the companies still don't have to report information the way public ones do, the researchers at CB Insights try to compile the information they find in a variety of sources.
