Data Sources

Transparency matters. Here’s where Intrinsic Investor gets its data and how to interpret it.

Market prices & fundamentals

We use Yahoo Finance data (via `yahoo-finance2`) for quotes and fundamental fields.

Macroeconomic data

We use FRED for macro series (when configured). If missing, the app may fall back to safe defaults or mock data.

Caching & freshness

We cache responses to stay within free-tier limits and rate limits. For real-time status see /api/ai/freshness.

Limitations

  • Quotes may be delayed; fundamentals can lag filings.
  • International tickers sometimes have missing fields.
  • Valuation outputs are estimates sensitive to assumptions.

Methodology
