Three companies, one filing week
A worked watchlist for 5 to 9 October 2026: Standard Motor Products, Cass Information Systems and American Express. These are real filings, selected to show what the dated list answers and what it leaves open. No company is ranked or recommended.
The completed watchlist
One collected Form 8-K for each of these three CIKs. A CIK is the regulator’s filer number; matching uses that number in the source, not a guessed ticker or similar company name.
| Company / CIK | Result | What to do with it | Filed |
|---|---|---|---|
| STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. · CIK 93389 | Departure listed | finance chief: resigned. Effective 30 October 2026; successor interim named. | 9 October 2026 |
| CASS INFORMATION SYSTEMS INC · CIK 708781 | Reading undecided | The weekly reading remains undecided. Not counted as a departure and not ruled out. Open the filing before treating it as either. | 8 October 2026 |
| AMERICAN EXPRESS CO · CIK 4962 | Outside the departure reading | Item 7.01 is in the collection, not read for the departure signal. Absence from the departure list is not a verdict on this company. | 8 October 2026 |
The departure and its limits
Standard Motor Products reported a finance chief resignation effective 30 October 2026, with an interim successor named. The filing date is 9 October 2026; the event date and the effective date are different. The weekly row’s reason, date and successor are preserved here. The source also describes an executive search; this is not a claim that the company is hiring your firm or accepting an approach.
Undecided stays undecided
Cass Information Systems has an Item 5.02 filing dated 8 October 2026, but the weekly reading could not settle the departure signal. It is excluded from the departure count, not cleared. The document discusses an agreement connected with a previously announced retirement; that does not resolve the officer role or timing for this list. Read the original before attributing a finance-chief or chief-executive departure.
A filing outside this reading
American Express’s collected filing is dated 8 October 2026 and carries Item 7.01. This week’s departure reading covers Item 5.02, so it does not decide this filing. A collected filing is different from a matching departure. No departure conclusion follows from its absence from that list.
What was checked, and what was missed
- The dated sources
- The retained collection contains 907 Form 8-K filings, amendments included, filed 5 to 9 October 2026; collectedOn is 2026-10-11. Its officer-change list contains 38 listed filings and 13 undecided filings. This worked list selects three CIKs from those records. The three linked official documents were read again on 14 October 2026.
- After the cutoff
- Filings after 9 October 2026 and later amendments are not examined here. The 14 October source-read date does not extend the collection’s coverage. Open the regulator’s company filings for later records.
- Outside the source and signal
- Non-8-K forms, other registers and other event signals are outside this list. A filing under several registrants may be collected under the first only; other registrants can therefore be missed. A similar name is not substituted.
- Unknown coverage
- The missed-alert rate and false-alert rate for this entire week are unknown. These three examples do not measure completeness, monitoring speed or time saved.
Check later filings at the source
This is a record of filings, not advice to buy, sell or hold anything. It gives no recruitment mandate, investment opinion or ongoing collection promise. A company’s latest filing history is the next source to check before using a dated event.
