Question by pyquant · Nov 04, 2020 at 04:53 PM · dividenddividend yield

How to get historical dividend yield? Unable to get dividend yield pre May 2008.

How can I get historical dividend yields for the entire company's history. As you can see in the below example, I am unable to get the dividend yield history prior to 2008.

Here is my use case.

I have a universe of a few hundred stocks and I would like to get the dividend yield for the entire history for each stock.

Hi @pyquant

I used Eikon Excel to try to retrieve the TR.DividendYield before June 2008 and it returns the data starting from the end of May 2008.

So I guess that the data is available up to that period.

For an authoritative answer to any content questions, the best resource is the Refinitiv Content Helpdesk.

This forum is dedicated to things specific to the use of Eikon APIs.
The moderators here do not have deep expertise in every type of content available through Eikon.
The Refinitiv Content Helpdesk can be reached using Contact Us capability in your Eikon application.
Or by calling the Helpdesk number in your country.
Or at https://my.refinitiv.com/


get_data() can get list of RIC as input so you can retrieve multiple RICs in one API call.

Hi chavalit.jintamalit. This company has been making dividend payments since the early 1990s(see below). So I wonder why eikon doesn't have this data? I'll contact the content helpdesk and in the mean time keep this open and see if anybody else can help me with this question.

Thanks.
