Some documented Line Items seem to report N/A only. Any idea how this can be resolved?
For example:
ShowVar(@NI,ItemQ(CS.NI,0)) // Net Income (Loss)
ShowVar(@NI_CS,ItemQ(CS.NIADJ,0)) // Net Income Adjusted for Common/Ordinary Stock (Capital) Equivs
ShowVar(@OP_EPS_Diluted,ItemQ(CS.OPREPSX,0)) // Earnings per Share from Operations - Diluted
Some line items are only available for annuals. Changing ItemQ to ItemA gets numbers for me for all of those.
This triggers some related questions:
CS.NIADJ // Net Income Adjusted for Common/Ordinary Stock (Capital) Equivs
This item is documented as having NetInc as Portfolio123 Function, which doesn’t look to be included in the documentation and reports an invalid command error when used. Any idea what causes this?
CS.NI // Net Income (Loss)
CS.OPREPSX // Earnings per Share from Operations - Diluted
Both items are documented to have ItemA, ItemQ, ItemTTM. Should the documentation be updated?
CS.CSHPRI // Common Shares Used to Calculate EPS Basic
CS.CSHFD // Common Shares Used to Calculate EPS Diluted
These items have working ItemA, ItemQ, ItemTTM. Any idea how both quarterly EPS Basic and EPS Diluted can and should be calculated?
Marco told me that there is, indeed, something wrong. We’re investigating.
We looked into this. The mappings were wrong for NI. (The others truly don’t have interims.) The fix should be live soon.
NetInc was a deprecated function from long ago. In accounting terms, net income from the income statement should be exactly equal to net income from the operations section of the cash flow statement, so use NetIncCFStmt if you really need it. (Personally, I’m always a little leery of using unadjusted net income. Enough people feel the same way that EBIT and EBITDA are common.)
