I understand Yahoo can get frustrating.
I checked it for you.
Yes, there is a problem with SBS fundamental download (as of 12/06).
If you go to the AQ/Downloads folder .... make a copy of SBS.aqfe and .aqfn and then rename the extension so they open in a CSV reader (excel) you can see that there is one more data field than what is required so this is shifting all values one field to the right ... hence beta and a few others end up in the wrong place i.e. that is what AQ saved to the SBS.aqfe file
I also have 235.45M,which is free cash flow, in the beta data field in AB.
I haven't heard of this one before, in my time in the forum ... usually Yahoo is at fault. Since this is only happening with one stock I guess that means the trouble is at their end.
Why not email their help desk?
