Missing diluted earnings-per-share from Financials.income_statement

[sporacle]

I am trying to calculate PE ratio for some tickers and to get the most accurate result I need to base the PE off of the diluted EPS. However the python client only gives me basic EPS which gets me close, but not perfectly accurate results. The REST API has a diluted EPS field so I assumed it would be present.

Are there any plans on adding support for diluted EPS in the Python client?

This is fixed now via #817 and is in the latest release https://github.com/polygon-io/client-python/releases/tag/v1.14.3.

You should be able to just run pip install -U polygon-api-client to get the latest update.

Here's an example for fetching diluted_earnings_per_share and net_income_loss:

from polygon import RESTClient

client = RESTClient()  # POLYGON_API_KEY environment variable is used

financials = []
for f in client.vx.list_stock_financials("AAPL", filing_date="2024-11-01"):
    financials.append(f)

    # get diluted_earnings_per_share
    print(f.financials.income_statement.diluted_earnings_per_share)

    # get net_income_loss
    print(f.financials.income_statement.net_income_loss)

Here's the output:
