Retirement Plans
Returns defined-benefit pension and other-postretirement (OPEB) disclosures from the benefits footnote: funded status, benefit obligation, cost components, employer contributions, discount-rate assumptions, and the plan-asset book with asset categories cross-tabbed by fair-value level (Level 1 / 2 / 3 / NAV).
Each period entry carries one object per plan bucket, the (type, location) grid the filer disclosed: pension vs postretirement vs supplemental, US vs foreign vs a specific country. Buckets the filer left untagged appear with type/location null (the all-plans rollup). Raw axis members ride along in typeMembers/locationMembers; the plan-asset book nests under planAssets.byCategory with per-level amounts plus actual and target allocation shares.
fundedStatus is the filer's tagged figure when present; otherwise it is derived as planAssets.total − benefitObligation (same bucket, one currency) and flagged fundedStatusDerived: true.
Monetary values default to US dollars (currency parameter as on the statements endpoints: balances at the period-end spot rate, cost/contribution flows at the period-average rate, fx audit block, currency=original for as-filed). Rates and allocation shares are fractions of 1 and never converted.
What this data can tell you:
- Funded status: over- or under-funded, per plan bucket.
- Sensitivity to actuarial assumptions (discount rates, expected return vs actual return).
- Level 3 share of plan assets.
- Pension cost trend in earnings (service and interest components).
Data honesty notes:
- The full footnote is an annual (10-K) disclosure; quarterly entries carry the cost components 10-Qs tag plus year-end balances as Q4.
- Plan-NAME breakdowns (e.g. individual multiemployer plans) are not served in this version: the grid is type × location.
- Mis-tagged whole-percent rates/allocations are re-scaled and flagged normalized: true.
- Coverage is US-GAAP filers with defined-benefit plans (~28% of the active universe: most younger companies have none).
Query parameters
Stock ticker symbol. Identify the entity by exactly one of: symbol, cik, cusip, composite_figi, or share_class_figi. At least one is required.
SEC Central Index Key (CIK).
CUSIP identifier (9 characters).
Composite OpenFIGI identifier.
Share-class OpenFIGI identifier.
Currency to return all monetary values in (default USD).
Pass any ISO 4217 code from the table below, or original to disable conversion and receive every figure in its own as-reported currency. With a target currency, any line item not already in it is converted on the fly at the period-appropriate rate (spot for balance-sheet instants, period-average for income/cash-flow flows); values already in the target pass through untouched (no round-trip), and the per-period fx block records the rate(s) applied. A currency that cannot be priced for a given period leaves those facts native and flags them under fx.unconverted.
