ex_hacker202 Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Just noticed this today after I added a stock to one of my portfolios and certain data columns didn't populate, like volumes, so I switched from Schwab's feed to Fido and found Fido is missing PEs for multiple stocks - ignore the minor diffs in the 2nd digit right of the decimal point, that's just because the current pps changed while i was fooling around taking screenshots. The attachment is for one of my Schwab accounts, some are spec plays that don't make any money yet, so they don't have a PE - but at least one stock, QRVO, does make profits but only Schwab has a PE shown in MT - as soon as I switch data sources to Fido a bunch of PE's disappear. I did the same test with my 31 stock/fund watchlist portfolio (not shown) and Schwab was only missing 6 out of 31 PE's (all 6 stocks are not profitable), but Fido was missing a whopping 16 our of 31 - any idea what's going on here?

Jerry Medved Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Schwab API is documented. Fidelity is not. And their field names are numbers :(. so had to kind of figure stuff out. Would be good if you did the same screenshots but with symbols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Please note that all the cases where fidelity has blank PE, the PE from Schwab is negative. Fido seems to only show positive PE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex_hacker202 Posted June 15 Author Report Share Posted June 15 I just figured out why those symbols don't have PEs shown with Fido OR Schwab as data source - they're all ETFs or mutual funds, which really don't have PEs, only the stocks they hold do. For money losing stocks Schwab will show you TTM PEs. So we can chalk this up to "nevermind, I was having a brain fart" 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
