On this page of Benford's Law Stocks.com we present our study of BIG LOTS INC — ticker symbol BIG. SEC filings have been screened by our Benford's Law software, for quarterly 10Q and annual 10K filings from 3/31/2020 to 9/12/2024 for BIG LOTS INC under CIK number 0000768835. For filings made in XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) format, our algorithm extracts all "tagged" numbers presented by the company; for any non-XBRL filings our algorithm uses its own interal set of rules to extract what it believes to be numbers as found throughout the filings. The format found for each filing is presented below together with the results for BIG, with the percentage of found numbers beginning with each digit (1's, 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, 6's, 7's, 8's, and 9's) charted against the "normal" range observed throughout our coverage universe, as well as the "normal" range for BIG LOTS INC based on the past BIG filings our system processed in the past.

While the above BIG 10Q Filed 9/12/2024 is interesting in isolation, we have found that it is also useful to take a look at older BIG LOTS INC filings processed by our Benford's Law Stocks algorithm, to see how the company's filings "typically look" on a Benford's Law analysis. Below we repeat the 10Q Filed 9/12/2024 but instead of the chart comparing against the typical company across our coverage universe, below we show the same chart compared against the typical BIG 10Q and 10K filings that we have processed historically. This is followed by similar charts for each of those historical filings.
