Methodology.
This page combines four signals: (1) a hand-curated map of S&P 500
Cuba exposure maintained by Cuban Insights analysts;
(2) fuzzy substring matching against every Cuba-program OFAC SDN
designation and the State Department Cuba Restricted List (refreshed
twice daily); (3) the SEC EDGAR full-text search across the company's
10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 20-F, and 6-K filings for the past 24 months — including
Helms-Burton Title III trafficking-claim disclosures; (4) a scan of our
own analyzed-news corpus and US Federal Register notices. Last refreshed
2026-04-21. This is not legal or compliance advice;
always verify with primary sources and qualified sanctions counsel
before transacting.
