What is the best data item to use?

I was following your guidance to use the following items for PE: TR.FwdPE or TR.RelValPENTM (for PE NTM).
However, I got 2,091 missing PE values when using TR.FwdPE for the 2,930 tickers that I tried to pull data for. TR.RelValPENTM also has more than 2,000 missing values. May I just kindly know if that’s the best I can have for PE, or if I’m missing something? Or do those stocks just not have forecasted PE? (They are from I/B/E/S?)

 I’m attaching my code and the tickers I am using to identify stocks, as well as the list of tickers I’m interested in. Is it better to use RICs than identifier to pull data via API? (And since I’m using tickers, should I find the bridge between RIC and ticker first?). I would appreciate being corrected if I’m wrong.

    Hi @Jirapongse,

    Thank you for responding.

    Unfortunately, I am from helpdesk and was referred here by our Product Specialists.

    Kindly exclude the missing values part of the query— can you please confirm which data item supports for PE?

    Also, client is asking if it is better to use RICs in the API?

    Hoping to hear a response from you. Thank you.

    Regards,

    Sofia

    Hello @Sofia

    As mentioned by my colleague, we are technical - developers and do not have deep content knowledge. These type of questions can only be answered by the product specialists or the product teams.

    In my experience, using RICs instead of a street ticker is almost always better.
