The data in fundamental message is somewhat different.
1) like PE on PFE, IQFeed reports 22, but Yahoo & other services show PFE's PE is around 10.
2) like InstitutionalHolding on INTC, IQFeeds reports 59, but Yahoo has value 56
3) DivYield is also slightly off the mark, is this field the result from DivRate / Last?

Hello,

I will contact the data team and see if I can get those answers. I will post here as soon as I hear back.

Was there any follow-up on this?

I also see PE numbers that vary drastically from what SPComstock or Spry delivers. I see some other differences in fundmentals as well, but they are very close. The PE however seems to be whack.

I have confirmed that the numbers that you are being presented with are what we receive from the exchanges. I have verified that this number is different from multiple sources.

I am now awaiting responses that explain the differences or correct them. The market team is still communicating between us and the exchanges at this time to find those answers.

Still working on some validation for PE info, but on dividend yield

This equates to the latest annual dividend divided by the last price of the security multiplied by 100.

We have reviewed and updated the fields in question. Could you take a look at these and see and verify that they now appear more concurrent with today's market. They appear normal here in-house.
Let me know.

PE matching almost dead on to Spry now.....excellent.

One last question. In the funamental record, is the "Beta" the SPBeta or something calculated by DTN? It's matching the SP Beta about 30% of the time and the remainder can be close or very far off.

Thanks in advance,

- Jeff
