Collects real financial data for any US publicly traded company from free public sources (yfinance) and outputs structured JSON for downstream skills (DCF modeling, comps analysis, earnings review): market data, historical financials, WACC inputs, analyst estimates — never fabricated fallback values. Use to collect or pull financial/market data, or gather DCF inputs, for a ticker.

Financial Data Collector

Collect and validate real financial data for US public companies using free data sources. Output is a standardized JSON file ready for consumption by other financial skills.

Critical Constraints

NO FALLBACK values. If a field cannot be retrieved, set it to null with _source: "missing". Never substitute defaults (e.g., beta or 1.0). The downstream skill decides how to handle missing data.

Data source attribution is mandatory. Every data section must have a _source field.

CapEx sign convention: yfinance returns CapEx as negative (cash outflow). Preserve the original sign. Document the convention in output metadata. Do NOT flip signs.

yfinance FCF ≠ Investment bank FCF. yfinance FCF = Operating CF + CapEx (no SBC deduction). Flag this in output metadata so downstream DCF skills don't overstate FCF.

Workflow

Step 1: Collect Data

Run the collection script:

bash
python scripts/collect_data.py TICKER [--years 5] [--output path/to/output.json]

The script collects in this priority:

  1. yfinance — market data, historical financials, beta, analyst estimates
  2. yfinance ^TNX — 10Y Treasury yield as risk-free rate proxy
  3. User supplement — for years where yfinance returns NaN (report to user, do not guess)
Step 2: Validate Data
bash
python scripts/validate_data.py path/to/output.json

Checks: field completeness, cross-field consistency (Market Cap = Price × Shares), range sanity (WACC 5-20%, beta 0.3-3.0), sign conventions.

Step 3: Deliver JSON

Single file: {TICKER}_financial_data.json. Schema in references/output-schema.md.

Do NOT create: README, CSV, summary reports, or any auxiliary files.

Handling Missing Years
python
if pd.isna(revenue):
    result[year] = {"revenue": None, "_source": "yfinance returned NaN — supplement from 10-K"}
# Report missing years to the user. Do NOT skip or fill with estimates.
CapEx Sign Preservation
python
capex = cash_flow.loc["Capital Expenditure", year_col]  # -37256.0
result["capex"] = float(capex)  # Preserve negative
Datetime Column Indexing
python
year_col = [c for c in financials.columns if c.year == target_year][0]
revenue = financials.loc["Total Revenue", year_col]
Field Name Guards
python
if "Total Revenue" in financials.index:
    revenue = financials.loc["Total Revenue", year_col]
elif "Revenue" in financials.index:
    revenue = financials.loc["Revenue", year_col]
else:
    revenue = None

</correct_patterns>

<common_mistakes>

Mistake 1: Default Values for Missing Data
python
# ❌ WRONG
beta = info.get("beta", 1.0)
growth = data.get("growth") or 0.02
# ✅ RIGHT
beta = info.get("beta")  # May be None — that's OK
Mistake 2: Assuming All Years Have Data
python
# ❌ WRONG — 2020-2021 may be NaN
revenue = float(financials.loc["Total Revenue", year_col])
# ✅ RIGHT
value = financials.loc["Total Revenue", year_col]
revenue = float(value) if pd.notna(value) else None
Mistake 3: Using yfinance FCF in DCF Models Directly

yfinance FCF does NOT deduct SBC. For mega-caps like META, SBC can be $20-30B/yr, making yfinance FCF ~30% higher than investment-bank FCF. Always flag this in output.

Mistake 4: Flipping CapEx Sign
python
# ❌ WRONG — double-negation risk downstream
capex = abs(cash_flow.loc["Capital Expenditure", year_col])
# ✅ RIGHT — preserve original, document convention
capex = float(cash_flow.loc["Capital Expenditure", year_col])  # -37256.0
