An income statement is one of the three important financial statements used for reporting a company's financial performance over a specific accounting period, with the other two key statements being the balance sheet and the statement of cash flows.
Also known as the profit and loss statement or the statement of revenue and expense, the income statement primarily focuses on the company’s revenues and expenses during a particular period.
In the example presented below, the yearly income statement of a stock is retrieved.
from reuterspy import Reuters
reuters = Reuters()
ticker_list = ['NFLX.O']
df = reuters.get_income_statement(ticker_list)
print(df.head())ticker financialReport year metric value
NFLX.O income_statement 2019 Revenue 20156.447000
NFLX.O income_statement 2018 Revenue 15794.341000
NFLX.O income_statement 2017 Revenue 11692.713000
NFLX.O income_statement 2016 Revenue 8830.669000
NFLX.O income_statement 2015 Revenue 6779.511000
A balance sheet is a financial statement that reports a company's assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity at a specific point in time, and provides a basis for computing rates of return and evaluating its capital structure. It is a financial statement that provides a snapshot of what a company owns and owes, as well as the amount invested by shareholders.
The balance sheet is used alongside other important financial statements such as the income statement and statement of cash flows in conducting fundamental analysis or calculating financial ratios.
In the example presented below, the yearly Balance Sheet of a stock is retrieved.
from reuterspy import Reuters
reuters = Reuters()
ticker_list = ['NFLX.O']
df = reuters.get_balance_sheet(ticker_list)
print(df.head())ticker financialReport year metric value
NFLX.O balance_sheet 2019 Cash 3103.525000
NFLX.O balance_sheet 2018 Cash 2572.685000
NFLX.O balance_sheet 2016 Cash 1264.126000
NFLX.O balance_sheet 2015 Cash 1706.592000
NFLX.O balance_sheet 2019 Cash & Equivalents 1914.912000
Cash flow is the net amount of cash and cash-equivalents being transferred into and out of a business. At the most fundamental level, a company’s ability to create value for shareholders is determined by its ability to generate positive cash flows, or more specifically, maximize long-term free cash flow (FCF).
In the example presented below, the yearly Cash Flow of a stock is retrieved.
from reuterspy import Reuters
reuters = Reuters()
ticker_list = ['NFLX.O']
df = reuters.get_cash_flow(ticker_list)
print(df.head())ticker financialReport year metric value
