From Form 4 filings: insiders must report trades in their own company's shares within two days.
Warning signs in its filings
Problems the company itself reported to the SEC, in its own words.
1 serious warning sign in Amrize’s filings.
We look for five warning signs: doubt it can keep going, weak checks on its own accounts, a notice that its past accounts can't be relied on, a change of auditor, and one customer bringing in a big share of sales. We don't check lawsuits, investigations or debt yet.
We checked the auditor's report, internal controls, restatement notices, auditor changes and big customers in the 10-K filed 18 Feb 2026, plus the 10-Q filed 10 Aug 2026 and 9 later 8-Ks.
Weak checks on its own accounts
SeriousThe company said its checks on its own accounts did not work at the end of its latest quarter. Mistakes could slip into the numbers.
“Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2026 because of our previously reported material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as described in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended”
Show the full paragraph
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report , an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (“the Certifying Officers”). Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2026 because of our previously reported material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as described in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
From the 10-Q filed 10 August 2026, Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures. Read it in the filing
A 10-K is the yearly report every US company files with the SEC. An 8-K is a short notice of a big event.
What could go wrong
Cheap for a reason is the question the numbers cannot answer.
Whether the price already reflects the risks is what the deep dive is for.
The deep dive
Everything above is arithmetic on public filings. The deep dive reads the last ten years of annual reports, the proxy statements, and the earnings calls, then argues the case the way Buffett, Klarman, and Hohn would, and checks every claim against the source.
- What the business is worth, as a range, and the margin of safety at today’s price
- Prices to start buying, buy, and buy hard
- The three things that would make this a mistake
- Every number footnoted to the filing it came from
