Hello!

I was working on understanding the fundamental data structures and pulling relevant information from them this morning when I seemed to find a discrepancy between the data Quantopian was reporting and the data on Morningstar's website. It may be a simple issue of interpretation, so I would greatly appreciate it if somebody could clear this up!

I was trying to figure out how to pull specific information out of the data, and when I pulled the dividend yield information, it said 1.81%. The current information says the yield is 1.78%, and the projected yield is 1.87%.

Furthermore, when I looked at RoA it did not match the RoA (ttm) listed on the website. I do realize that I am testing for data from Oct 5-6, and today is Oct. 7th, but I don't understand why that would affect the dividends yield information.

Any help clarifying this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
