Yfinance - Tickerdata.info Not Working For Some Stocks

import yfinance as yf #define the ticker symbol tickerSymbol = 'AFT.NZ' #get data on this ticker tickerData = yf.Ticker(tickerSymbol) print(tickerData.info) This doesn't seem to

Solution 1:

There's a merge request from williamsiuhang to fix this that's currently 9 days old. https://github.com/ranaroussi/yfinance/pull/371/commits/7e137357296a1df177399d26543e889848efc021

I just made the change manually myself, go into base.py (in your_py_dir\Lib\site-packages\yfinance) and change line 286:

old line:

self._institutional_holders = holders[1]

new line:

self._institutional_holders = holders[1] iflen(holders) > 1else []

Solution 2:

I've had the same problem, and see there's a lot of posts on github with the same error.

I've fixed the error with a try & except in the base.py file for yfinance

Line 282

# holderstry:
        url = "{}/{}/holders".format(self._scrape_url, self.ticker)
        holders = _pd.read_html(url)
        self._major_holders = holders[0]
        self._institutional_holders = holders[1]

        if'Date Reported'in self._institutional_holders:
            self._institutional_holders['Date Reported'] = _pd.to_datetime(
                self._institutional_holders['Date Reported'])
        if'% Out'in self._institutional_holders:
            self._institutional_holders['% Out'] = self._institutional_holders[
            '   % Out'].str.replace('%', '').astype(float)/100except:
        print("institutional_holders error")

Not a great solution, but makes it run for me. I'm not a great programmer, so I hope the problem get fixed in a more delicate way by the developer(s).
