YFinance Tool

YFinance Tool gets financial information about a listed company from its ticker symbol, using public Yahoo Finance data: the company profile, news, dividends, annual accounts, analyst recommendations and more. No credential is needed.

When to use it

• You want a morning summary with data on the companies you follow.
• An investment report needs a company’s dividends or balance sheet.
• You want to gather a listed company’s latest news to analyse with AI.
• You are comparing analyst recommendations for several companies in the same sector.

Configuration

Field	What it does
Stock Symbol	The company’s ticker symbol, for example AAPL for Apple or SAN.MC for Banco Santander on the Madrid stock exchange.
Information to request	The information you want. For example get_info (company profile), get_news (news), get_dividends (dividends), get_balance_sheet (balance sheet), get_income_stmt (income statement), get_cashflow (cash flow) or get_recommendations (analyst recommendations). Always pick an option from the list.

Output

Data: with get_news, one item per news article. With any other option, a single item with all the requested information as text. You can connect it to an agent or an AI model to summarise or explain it.

Example

An asset manager wants a daily summary of a company in its portfolio.

1. Add YFinance Tool and type ITX.MC in Stock Symbol.
2. Choose get_news in Information to request.
3. Connect the Data output to an agent instructed to summarise the news in five points.
4. Schedule the flow to run every morning.

Good practices

• Check the symbol on the Yahoo Finance website: companies on non-US exchanges carry a suffix, such as .MC for Madrid.
• If you need several kinds of information about the same company, use one component for each.
