name: yfinance-data description: > Fetch financial and market data with the yfinance Python library (Yahoo Finance). Use this skill whenever the user wants stock data: current quotes and price history, financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow), options chains, dividends and splits, earnings and analyst estimates, price targets and ratings, institutional and insider holdings, news, multi-ticker comparisons, stock screens, or sector and industry data. Use it even when the user gives only a ticker symbol (AAPL, MSFT, TSLA) and the intent has to be inferred. For earnings previews or recaps, estimate revisions, valuation, correlation, liquidity, or ETF premium analysis, prefer the dedicated skill.
