On this page of Benford's Law Stocks.com we present our study of INGLES MARKETS INC — ticker symbol IMKTA. SEC filings have been screened by our Benford's Law software, for quarterly 10Q and annual 10K filings from 11/24/2021 to 8/6/2026 for INGLES MARKETS INC under CIK number 0000050493.

While the above IMKTA 10Q Filed 8/6/2026 is interesting in isolation, we have found that it is also useful to take a look at older INGLES MARKETS 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 8/6/2026 but instead of the chart comparing against the typical company across our coverage universe, below we show the same chart compared against the typical IMKTA 10Q and 10K filings that we have processed historically. This is followed by similar charts for each of those historical filings.
