Data Sources

ImpliedLens labels the providers and calculations behind its research surfaces. Here is where the data comes from and how it is used.

📈
Yahoo Finance
finance.yahoo.com

Used for price history, OHLCV candles, and current quote context. The interface shows the latest provider observation and does not present this as a direct exchange feed.

🦉
Finnhub
finnhub.io

Used for analyst price targets, earnings surprises, recommendation trends, news feeds, institutional ownership, earnings-call transcript availability, and selected market metrics. All calls are server-side — provider credentials are never exposed to the browser.

🏛️
SEC EDGAR
sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar

Official company facts and filing history. SEC XBRL facts populate annual financial statements, reported EPS history, and the reported inputs used by LensValue. Filing links open the original 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, and DEF 14A documents on SEC.gov.

FINRA OTC Transparency
finra.org/filing-reporting/otc-transparency

Used for delayed, aggregated weekly OTC trading volume and trade counts. This is labeled as OTC activity—not as venue-level dark-pool order flow.

Data Freshness and Delays

Timing varies by provider, exchange, instrument, and market session. ImpliedLens displays the provider observation time when available and identifies fallback sources; it does not infer a guaranteed delay from the chart interval. Daily OHLCV history reflects the provider's latest completed observation. Analyst estimates and institutional ownership update on their providers' schedules, and FINRA OTC data is published on a delayed basis.

Reported, Derived, and Modeled Data

ImpliedLens separates provider-supplied observations from derived calculations and user-controlled models. Reported figures come from connected providers or SEC filings. Ratios, indicators, projections, intrinsic-value estimates, and wealth scenarios are calculations whose reliability depends on their inputs and assumptions. Missing provider fields are shown as unavailable rather than silently invented.

LensScore Calibration Status

LensSetup has a preliminary no-lookahead walk-forward diagnostic across 525 observations and 15 liquid U.S. symbols. Current separation is positive but weak, so no historical-performance claim is made. LensValue and Golden Lens require broader point-in-time fundamental and estimate history before performance claims are allowed. The production interface exposes model version, confidence, inputs, source dates, and missing-data status. View the current machine-readable diagnostic.

Important: Data accuracy depends on the upstream providers. ImpliedLens is not responsible for errors, delays, or omissions in data supplied by Finnhub, Yahoo Finance, or SEC EDGAR. Always verify critical figures against primary sources before making investment decisions.

Screener Data

The stock screener evaluates a curated universe of widely followed companies using current quotes and company metrics, then filters and sorts the results server-side. Results reflect the latest data available from upstream providers and may not capture every intraday move.

Market Overview and Movers

The homepage market overview requests current index and market-benchmark quotes through the same resilient quote pipeline used elsewhere in ImpliedLens. Preview market data does not count toward the daily analysis limit.
