Quarterly Finance Data-set Documentation

Dataset Description

Data Refresh Rate

This dataset is refreshed every night. The stocks data is pulled nightly for the previous day’s close price, high, low, open and volume.

The SEC Edgar financials data is updated monthly from a bulk SEC download. The SEC data is not updated daily.

Data Granularity

[Primary Key]: The unique row in this dataset is determined by the columns: Symbol, Year, Quarter.

This dataset has two implied levels of grain:

  1. At the stock symbol level
  2. At the central index key level

The two levels of grain work well together because some companies have more than one stock symbol associated to them, because they have different classes of publicly traded shares outstanding. Therefore, it is important to know which symbol the company Earnings Per Share (EPS), Net Income, and Dividends apply to.

Fields such as Company Name, Revenue, Assets & Liabilities, etc. apply at the Central Index Key (the Company) level, unless the company has other subsidiary companies with different central index keys, in which case, those can be looked-up as well.

Some companies do not publish quarterly reports, and only annual. In that case, their annual metrics are divided equally by 4 for each trading quarter for their quarterly metrics, to allow for apples to apples comparisons at the quarterly level of grain.

All metrics ending with “Annual” are pre-aggregated to the annual level of the company. This means that they cannot be meaningfully summed across quarters as they are repeated for each quarter. These metrics are useful at the average level, to look at data at an aggregated annual level, but still using the Quarterly Financial Dataset, without the need to create a different annual dataset.
