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 Blaize Holdings’ 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 24 Mar 2026, plus the 10-Q filed 13 Aug 2026 and 8 later 8-Ks.
Doubt it can keep going
SeriousThe company or its auditor warned it may not have enough money to last the next year.
“As a result of the above, in connection with its assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40-50 — “Going Concern — Disclosure,” management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements have been issued.”
From the 10-Q filed 13 August 2026, Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements. Read it in the filing
Changed auditor
Worth knowingThe company changed its auditor (the firm that checks its books) in the last two years.
“On January 13, 2025, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of UHY LLP (“UHY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements, effective following Marcum LLP, BurTech’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Business Combination, audit of BurTech’s financials statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.”
From an 8-K filed 7 February 2025: Change of auditor. Read it in the filing
One big customer
Worth knowingOne customer brings in a big share of sales: 61% last year. Losing that customer would hurt.
“For the year ended December 31, 2025, two major customers located in China accounted for 61% and 27% of our total revenue, respectively.”
From the 10-K filed 24 March 2026, Item 1. Business. 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.
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.
