Bulk Cash Flow Statements Growth API

Why the Cash Flow Statement is not updated?

The Cashflow Statements are rarely released with an 8-K (earnings press release) and are only filled after the company releases a 10-Q, 10-K, 20-F etc.

Why are cash flow and balance sheet fields sometimes missing (null) for Indian companies on BSE and NSE?

For companies listed on India's BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) and NSE (National Stock Exchange), the reporting frequency differs from U.S. and European standards: Income statements are reported quarterly. Balance sheets are typically reported semi-annually. Cash flow statements are usually reported annually. Because of these reporting practices, you may see null values for fields like operatingCashFlowPerShare, freeCashFlowPerShare, cashPerShare, and certain balance sheet items when pulling quarterly data. This is not a data error — the companies themselves do not release complete cash flow or balance sheet updates every quarter. We recommend reviewing annual filings if complete financial data is required.

Do you have bulk endpoints where I can easily access multiple companies' financial statements?

Yes you can access our Bach and Bulk endpoints where you will access companies financial statements in bulk. For the quote endpoint you can also call the API with multiple tickers separated via a comma.

For the fields tenYDividendperShareGrowthPerShare, fiveYDividendperShareGrowthPerShare and threeYDividendperShareGrowthPerShare in the Financial Growth API what exactly do these represent? Are they indicative of the growth rate of dividends per share over 10, 5, and 3 years, respectively? Additionally, could you explain how I might derive the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for dividends per share using these values?

It's just an annual growth rate over 10, 5, or 3 years, you can just use those values directly for the CAGR formula since they are already pre-calculated.

How I can query the Trailing Twelve Months (TTM) data for financials statements (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement)?

You use the 'quarterly' financial statements and add the parameter 'limit=4' which will provide data from the last 4 quarters, and then sum the fields for the desired values.

Why are fields in the income statement 1,000 or 1,000,000 times larger than reported in their SEC filings?

Firstly, check if the financial statements are denominated in thousands or millions in their SEC statement. If this is not the case it is likely that our pull from the SEC is not denominated properly, which can affect just the shares outstanding (and diluted), or the entire statement. If you run into a rare instance of this please reach out to us here and we can get it fixed for you in a timely manner.
