Still, you need to be aware of some limitations. I touched on them in the <a href=\"https:\/\/dqydj.com\/sic-code-lookup\/#SIC_Codes_legacy_but_still_relevant\">company SIC and NAICS lookup tool<\/a>, but here&#8217;s a summary:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The SIC system was last updated in 1987. Even at the time it was having a hard time keeping up with modern industrial development, so may not accurately reflect modern industries. That goes particularly for technology. (Try code <strong>7389<\/strong> for a funny example!).<\/li>\n<li>Companies self-report their SIC codes.<\/li>\n<li>Complex companies with diverse operations are limited to a single SIC code in SEC filings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I use the SIC codes to populate NAICS codes for each company. They don&#8217;t map 1:1 in my database, so the NAICS codes can also be funny. But for a more comprehensive view, consider using both this SIC industry lookup tool and our NAICS industry lookup tool in your research.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sic-code-structure\"><span id=\"SIC_Code_structure\">SIC Code structure<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The current tool only allows you to search by 4 digit SIC codes, without aggregating. I&#8217;ll look into how best to add 2 and 3 digit searches to the tool (or feel free to get in touch with ideas).<\/p>\n<p>SIC codes use a four-digit hierarchical structure:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>First two digits:<\/strong> Major Group (Division or Sector)<\/li>\n<li><strong>First three digits:<\/strong> Business or Industry Group<\/li>\n<li><strong>All four digits:<\/strong> Specific Industry, or Specialization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, SIC code 7372 breaks down as:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>73: <em>Business Services<\/em><\/li>\n<li>737: <em>Computer and Data Processing Services<\/em><\/li>\n<li>7372:<em> Prepackaged software<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sources\"><span id=\"Sources\">Sources<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The key for these company classifications is their self-filed SIC. Here is how I populate the data:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/search-filings\">SEC EDGAR<\/a>:<\/strong> Primary source for company SIC codes and basic information.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naics.com\/\">NAICS Association:<\/a><\/strong> NAICS-SIC code crosswalks and NAICS descriptions come from the NAICS Association.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Continue your industry and investment research with these complementary tools:<\/p>\n<p>Explore more investment tools in our <a href=\"https:\/\/dqydj.com\/investing\/\">Investing section<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/span><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below is a SIC code lookup tool for United States publicly traded securities.
