Behind the headline figures: 23 listings say a tax return or P&L backs at least one year, 3 offer a broker's restatement, 7 assert numbers with nothing named behind them, and 6 publish too little to classify. "Documented" means a broker typed the words — no filing is verified. It is still the difference between a number with a paper trail and a number without one, and it is the first thing to ask any broker about.
