Cash Flow Statement API FAQs

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.

I noticed a discrepancy in the cash flow statement for a specific stock ticker. What should I do?

If you notice any discrepancies in the financial data provided for a specific stock ticker, please reach out to our customer support team with the details. Our team will investigate the issue and work to resolve it as quickly as possible.

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.

How often is your Financial Statement data is updated?

Typically, we are able to gather financials through an 8-K within 24 hours of an earnings report, However, this data is not as reliable or as full as the data from their 10-Q which takes a bit longer to process.

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.

I noticed a discrepancy in the financial statements for a stock. How should I report this issue?

To report a discrepancy in the financial statements for a specific stock, please submit a bug ticket through our chatbot. Make sure to provide all the requested information to help us investigate and resolve the issue promptly.

How do I retrieve quarterly financial data information on Excel?

Please review our Excel documentation. The specific query in this case is : =Financial Modeling Prep.INCOMESTATEMENT('AAPL';10;'quarter') =Financial Modeling Prep.INCOMESTATEMENT(symbol;[limit];[datatype];[headers];[interval])
