AAPL book_value_per_share and others fundamentals are not adjusted for splits
API

I found that some fundamentals data are not correct. For example APPL book_value_per_share and normalized_basic_eps are completely different in between the stock split happened in 2014. I would like to make stock selection based on some fundamentals growth rates, but these numbers make difficult to measure the correct growth rate. Why these values differ from the morningstar web site data?

Hi Stefano,

The issue here is that we don't yet have the ability to provide split-adjusted fundamental data. On their website, Morningstar is showing split-adjusted values, which is why you see a big difference. It's on our long-term list to add split adjustments to this data.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
