Question by valerio.gemmetto · Oct 26, 2020 at 03:06 PM · missing datapython eikon apistock events

Eikon API python RES event type

I want to get all the events (for example, revenues or earnings releases) of the symbol LVMH.PA in the last two months, and I know that there should be an event on the 15th October 2020. In Python 3.7 I use:

tmp=eik.get_data(['LVMH.PA'], ["TR.EventType", "TR.EventStartDate", "TR.EventEndDate",

"TR.EventStartTime", "TR.EventEndTime", "TR.EventStartQualifier",

"TR.EventEndQualifier"], {'Scale':6,'SDate':str('2020-09-01'), 'EDate':str('2020-10-27'), 'EventType': 'RES'})[0]


But no value is shown. The same piece of codes works (and has been working for years) for all the american stocks and many european stocks, but misses a lot of values for other stocks like the one I mentioned above. Is it an issue related to the API, or is Eikon missing the data?

@valerio.gemmetto

{'EventType': 'RES'} in your request specifies that you only want to retrieve Earnings Release events. The event LVMH had on 2020-10-15 is categorized in Eikon as Sales & Trading Release. If you'd like to include these types of events in your request then use {'EventType': 'RES:STR'}.

Thank you. A further question at this point is the following: is it possible to distinguish between "Sales" and other sorts of events downloaded via 'RES:STR' ? (revenues, interim releases, etc.)

@valerio.gemmetto

TR.EventType field provides this distinction. For events that are returned with {'EventType': 'STR'} the value of TR.EventType is "SalesAndTradingStatementReleases". For events returned with {'EventType': 'RES'} the value is "EarningsReleases".
Perhaps it would be helpful to make a comment on the semantics of this distinction. In Eikon EarningsReleases are full financial disclosures that include both income statement and balance sheet, whereas SalesAndTradingStatementReleases are partial disclosures. Public companies in French jurisdiction are required to publish their sales figures quarterly, and the balance sheet semi-annually. So for French companies in Eikon you'll find regular semi-annual EarningsReleases events that correspond to income statement and balance sheet disclosures, and you'll find regular semi-annual SalesAndTradingStatementReleases that correspond to the two quarterly income statement disclosures a year that are not accompanied by balance sheet disclosure.

This does not answer the question, therefore confirming that it does not seem to be possible to distinguish between "sales only" and other sorts of releases that are downloaded via {'EventType': 'STR'} as well. Amore specific value for TR.EventType would be helpful. Thanks anyways
