Welcome to our dedicated page for BF SEC filings (Ticker: BF), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
The Brown-Forman (BF) SEC filings page on Stock Titan provides structured access to the company’s regulatory disclosures filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Brown-Forman Corporation, a Louisville, Kentucky–based global spirits company with NYSE-listed Class A (BFA) and Class B (BFB) shares, files a range of documents that detail its financial condition, governance, and material events.
Current and periodic reports such as Form 8-K, Form 10-K, and Form 10-Q are central to understanding Brown-Forman’s business. Recent 8-K filings have covered quarterly and half-year operating results, annual meeting voting outcomes, the adoption of an Executive Change in Control Severance Plan, the announcement of a share repurchase program, and the planned retirement of the company’s chief financial officer. These reports often incorporate or reference press releases that describe brand performance across whiskey, tequila, ready-to-drink (RTD), Rest of Portfolio, and non-branded and bulk categories, as well as geographic and channel trends.
Annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q (referenced in the company’s risk discussions) contain detailed financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis, and the “Risk Factors” section. Brown-Forman uses these filings to describe risks related to dependence on the Jack Daniel’s family of brands, competition, trade policies, consumer preferences, supply chain, macroeconomic conditions, regulatory changes, tax matters, and cyber and data protection, among others.
Stock Titan’s platform surfaces these filings as they are made available through EDGAR and pairs them with AI-powered summaries that highlight key points, such as changes in net sales by brand grouping, updates to capital allocation (dividends and repurchases), governance decisions, and executive compensation or severance arrangements disclosed in proxy materials and related exhibits.
Investors can also review proxy statements (DEF 14A), which outline Board composition, committee structures, executive compensation programs, and matters submitted to stockholders for a vote. Together, these documents provide a detailed regulatory record of Brown-Forman’s operations, governance, and financial reporting over time.

After this trade, the insider beneficially owned 32,933 Class A shares directly and an additional 3.086 Class A shares indirectly through a dividend reinvestment plan. The sales were made under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan that was previously adopted on March 31, 2025.

These transactions were carried out under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan that had been adopted on March 31, 2025.

Brown-Forman Corporation reports softer results for the six months ended October 31, 2025, as a tough macro environment and portfolio changes weighed on performance. Net sales were $1.96 billion, down 4% from $2.05 billion, with declines in the United States and developed markets partly offset by growth in emerging markets and Travel Retail. Gross profit fell 4% to $1.17 billion, though gross margin inched up to 59.5% as divestitures and mix slightly improved profitability.
Operating income declined 9% to $565 million, pressured by restructuring charges, the absence of a prior-year franchise tax refund, and foreign exchange. Diluted earnings per share decreased 13% to $0.83 from $0.96, reflecting lower operating income and higher non‑operating postretirement expense. Cash from operations improved sharply to $292 million from $129 million, helped by working capital, while the company continued dividends and repurchased treasury stock.
