Where can I find past financial information on companies?

I particularly need to find out: the number of shares several companies had issued and book- to- market values.|||Not sure how far back you need to go but here are some resources.





Yahoo Finance. http://finance.yahoo.com/


Enter the trading symbol for the company and you have a wide variety of data for that company at hand. Look under the link "Key Statistics" for the alot of great info including:





shares outstanding





price to book ratio





P/E ratio. (Price to earnings ratio) which many analysts use to determine how well a company does among its peers.





You can also go to the specific company's corporate website. Look for their Investor Relations page. On that page should be links to their historical stock data information.
