On this page of Benford's Law Stocks.com we present our study of JOHN WILEY & SONS, INC. — ticker symbol WLY. SEC filings have been screened by our Benford's Law software, for quarterly 10Q and annual 10K filings from 7/6/2021 to 12/5/2025
for JOHN WILEY & SONS, INC. under CIK number 0000107140.
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 WLY, 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 JOHN WILEY & SONS, INC. based on the past WLY filings our system processed in the past.
| Benford's Law Stocks Score for WLY = 82 | ||

While the above WLY 10Q Filed 12/5/2025 is interesting in isolation, we have found that it is also useful to take a look at older
JOHN WILEY & SONS, 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 12/5/2025 but instead of the chart comparing against the typical company across
our coverage universe, below we show the same chart compared against the typical WLY 10Q and 10K filings that we have processed
historically. This is followed by similar charts for each of those historical filings.
