Do companies have their asset valuations in the SEC filings?

[RGLD]

For example if a company claims they have 3 billion dollars in assets on their balance sheet. Is there breakdown of each asset in their filings? Or it's standard for them to just group it all.

For example you can own a piece of real estate that's valued at 3 billion dollars and no cash.... That'll be reported under "Assets".

When they say "cash or cash equivalences", does that include stocks? Since they can be sold into cash quickly. I assume companies obviously have investments in their competitors via stock purchase or loans so net profits from their goods and services won't be their only valuation.

Of course there is a breakdown..Im assuming you havent looked at a balance sheet..

There are Current Assets and Non Current Assets,Current Liabilities and Non Current.And then there is Equity..

Property would go under Non Current asset,cash being the most liquid asset would beunder Current Asset

Stocks are not cash,they are not grouped together..

Dont assume that companies have investments in their competitors...Look at an income statement

Go to Gurufocus,look at a stock and go to the 30 year financials...Go look at the balance sheet,and you will see the breakdown with definitions of each heading when you click on it..Take a look at the Income statement..

Then buy a Warren Buffet accounting or some other intro book so you know what financial staements are
