FAST Graphs provides comprehensive financial data for all companies in its ecosystem, including full Income Statements, Balance Sheets, and Cash Flow Statements. Users can access up to 20 years of annual data and up to 20 quarters of quarterly data, with various options for organizing and reviewing this information.

Key Features:

  • Time Series Plotting: All three financial statements support plotting time series data with CAGR and Total Growth rate data.

  • Adjustable Timeframes: Users can modify the timeframe within charts to analyze growth trends.

  • Automated Generation: FAST Graphs offers four types of financial statements that are automatically tailored to the company type.

  • Adjustable Views: View numbers as raw numbers, growth rates, or even common-size when available

Note: FAST Graphs suggests using "Fully Adjusted" numbers, but to reconcile financial statements pre-splits and spinoffs you'll need to use "Unadjusted".
