- Business data for Finance links:
 | Because this template creates external links to websites outside Wikipedia's control, be aware that these websites may change the format of their web addresses at any time.
You are advised to test the links that are created using this template. If you spot any links that no longer work, please update the template or leave a message on the template talk page if you need help doing so. |
This template provides a list of useful links to several financial and industry tracking websites for companies, both public and private.
Usage
This template should be placed in the "External links" section, preferably after any official or specialist links.
- Blank syntax
{{Finance links
|name=
|google=
|yahoo=
|bloomberg=
|reuters=
|sec_cik=
}}
Sites included
Depending on availability of information, this template provides links to the following services:
- Google Finance
- Yahoo! Finance
- Bloomberg
- Reuters
- SEC filings at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
Parameters
- name
- (optional, will take the page name) The name of the company as you would like it to appear in each link. This is usually the full, official name of the company, such as Starbucks Corporation or Apple Inc.
- Ticker symbol, followed by a colon and the exchange, e.g., SBUX:NASDAQ for Starbucks. Generates a Google Finance link.
- yahoo
- Ticker symbol, including the non-US exchange code if outside of the US. Generates a Yahoo! Finance link.
- bloomberg
- The Bloomberg symbol: a combination of the symbol, a colon, and a geographic code, e.g., SBUX:US for Starbucks.
- reuters
- The Reuters "RIC code", a combination of the symbol, a period, and a market code, e.g., SBUX.O for Starbucks (here "O" represents "over-the-counter," a legacy from when Nasdaq was an over-the-counter market before it was an exchange).
- in all the above cases, the symbol/code should be those of the company's home country.
- sec_cik
- The SEC CIK (Central Index Key) is an identifier assigned by the Securities and Exchange Commission for all companies that file reports with the SEC, including all companies traded publicly on US stock exchanges and many large private companies. To find the CIK for any filing company, search for the company name at https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/cik.htm. The CIK code is listed directly on the search results page, to the left of the company name. Any leading zeros may be removed from this number. For example, the search results for a query of "microsoft" returns two entries. The relevant entry is listed as "MICROSOFT CORP" and has a CIK of 789019 (with 4 leading zeros removed). The symbol will also work in this field.
