Hi! was following the online modules on valuation and realised that yahoo finance does not allow for the download of past data anymore? meaning we can't move the data to excel to further dissect. is there any round about for this?

Hi Fay,

I saw your question in the email, but it is not reflected here.

Hi Victor, thanks for sharing. i tried investing.com - i am able to get the price of the stock for the past ten years but i am not able to get the EPS for the past ten years, only up till 5 years under a free account. what are the other ways we can get the EPS for the past ten years? Separately, when we use the EPS - do we use the basic or diluted EPS?

When collecting the EPS data, we self-collect it and adjust it for exception items. I don't encourage you to take from a 3rd-party source as you don't know how they collect the data. To be conservative, we always use diluted EPS.
