I downloaded GE to check it for you.
Note that, if my memory serves me correctly, we don't see the data on the server that AQ downloads.... it is seperate to the webpages that we are viewing i.e. AQ is not scraping the page.... so data can be different on the website to the data we get.
Forward EPS is actually the analysts average guestimate from this page:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ae?s=GE
When I download I get:
12/06 Close 13.51,EPS 1.54 P/E 8.77 (correct)
Forward EPS 0, Forward P/E N/A - Yahoo has analyst est at 0.94 for a FP/E of 14.37.
Probably the Yahoo server that AQ downloads from has 0 as the incorrect value.
It is unlikely that AQ downloads incorrectly (you can check my download since we are completely independent).
Sometimes it happens that Yahoo move stuff and Tomasz has to make an adjustment but not if it is only a % of stock.
Not being rude because I use Yahoo myself ...have done for years (but not for critical tasks) ... if Yahoo doesn't do the job QP is the alternative paid data with fundamentals included (in case you didn't know).
