efficiency
Read-onlyIdempotent
Fetch pre-computed asset turnover, inventory turnover, DSO, DPO, and cash conversion cycle ratios for one or more tickers instead of raw financial statements.
Instructions
Pre-computed efficiency ratios (asset turnover, inventory turnover, days sales outstanding, days payable outstanding, cash conversion cycle). Requires tickers='AAPL' — use comma-separated values for multiple tickers. Use instead of raw financial statements. Supports quarterly=true and start_date/end_date.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| lag | No | Number of periods to lag when computing growth rates. | |
| days | No | Number of calendar days used in day-count-based calculations. | |
| limit | No | The rows to return, like head and tail: 5 for the first five, -5 for the last five (the most recent of a time series). A table with its periods as columns (financial statements, ratios) keeps its first or last periods instead. For ETF holdings the largest (or, negative, the smallest) by weight, and for a list (e.g. news or a screener) its length. | |
| growth | No | Return period-over-period growth rates instead of absolute values. | |
| tickers | No | Comma-separated ticker symbols, e.g. 'AAPL,MSFT,GOOGL'. | |
| end_date | No | End of the date range in YYYY-MM-DD format. | 2026-10-14 |
| trailing | No | Trailing window size in number of periods. Sums the raw values over the trailing N periods (e.g. trailing=4 on quarterly data gives a trailing-4-quarter / TTM-style sum) instead of returning one value per period. | |
| indicator | Yes | Name of the specific metric to calculate, one of the listed values. Required — search_metrics finds the indicator (and its tool) for a metric by name. | |
| quarterly | No | Return quarterly data instead of annual when True. | |
| start_date | No | Start of the date range in YYYY-MM-DD format. | 2021-10-15 |
| standardize | No | Return the Z-Score (standard score) instead of the raw values, i.e. how many standard deviations each value is from the mean of its own series. When combined with growth=True, the growth values are standardized instead of the raw values. | |
| show_columns | No | Comma-separated names to filter the output. For historical data use the key names visible in any response record (e.g. 'Close,Volume,Return'). For financial statements use the 'metric' field values from the response (e.g. 'Revenue,Net Income,EBITDA'). Call the tool once without this parameter to see all available names, then repeat with show_columns to reduce response size and token usage. | |
| benchmark_ticker | No | Ticker used as the market benchmark, e.g. 'SPY' or '^GSPC'. | SPY |
