Read a company's statement directly from itself, not from its social media comment

You've heard that a company has made a new investment, announced a capital increase, or published its financial results. Everyone comments differently on social media.

So where can you read the description itself?

KAP is quite useful at this point. You can search for companies' public statements and financial reports on a single official platform.

For example, if you want to review the latest financial report of a company, instead of being content with a few lines of summary on social media, you can access the report itself and see the date on which the statement was published.

Also useful for content creators and journalists: Direct reference to the notification text when preparing a video or news about listed companies reduces the risk of conveying false information.

Step by step usage

1. Open KAP home page.
2. Type the company name or stock ticker in the search field.
3. Company Notices.
4. Select notification type. For example, Financial Report or Exception Disclosure.
5. Find comments within a specific period using the date filter.
6. Open the summary and full text of the relevant notification.
7. Check the period, currency and disclosure notes if the financial statement is available.
8. If you are creating content, note the notification date and source; Distinguish between commentary and the company's official statement.
