Representative did not address the issue, but acted like he did, then when directly told that the issue was not handled, failed to respond any further.
In the future, the company can allow promotional banners when the place them at the top of screener pages to be dismissed by the account holder.

Data is missing constantly
Data is missing constantly for the last quarters of many companies. This is a very usual problem in GuruFocus. Please solve it o change your data provider!
Response from GuruFocus.comOct 10, 2025
Dear Paco,
Thank you for choosing GuruFocus. We’ve responded to your tickets in our support system; in case you didn’t see those replies, we’ll explain here.
We track financials for 65,000+ companies (110,000+ stocks) across 100+ countries, with raw financial data sourced from our data vendor Morningstar.
How our data flows (general timelines)
U.S. stocks (SEC filers): For companies that report to the SEC, Morningstar typically delivers the data to us within 48 business hours after the filing is publicly released.
Non-U.S. stocks (non-SEC filers): Morningstar sources financials from official regulators and company websites. Delivery is typically within 10 business days after companies publish their reports.
We’ve reviewed the delays you reported; most involve Japanese and Polish companies.
Japan
In Japan, most quarterly results are posted as earnings releases on company websites, while statutory financials are filed on EDINET (the official disclosure platform). According to Morningstar's data collection policy for Japanese companies, if a company's market capitalization is below USD 10 billion, quarterly financials are not extracted from earnings releases. Since many issuers fall below this threshold, our data vendor sources Japanese financial statement data primarily from EDINET rather than from company websites.
Recently, many issuers have been missing Sep-2024 and Mar-2025 quarterly financials on EDINET, leaving only 6M/12M data in semi-annual/annual reports. This created gaps where our 30-Year Financials page previously expected 3M data. We’ve updated our logic to display 6M figures when quarterly numbers are unavailable.
Poland
For the Polish tickers you flagged, some of your tickets arrived while our data vendor was still processing the data within its collection window. The others were corrected after we escalated the issue to them. As soon as we receive the raw financials, we process and publish them on the site.
Unfortunately, a change of data vendor isn’t feasible right now because:
We require historical continuity (our charts, screeners, and backtests rely on decades of data from the current data vendor).
Vendors differ in methodology and schema (field definitions, calculations, identifiers), requiring extensive re-mapping and re-validation across 110k+ securities.
A switch could introduce new inconsistencies as no vendor is entirely error-free.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. We’ll continue to monitor delivery closely and work with Morningstar to improve turnaround times for non-U.S. companies.
Best regards,
GuruFocus Support Team

Beware on their 100% money back 7 day…
Beware on their 100% money back 7 day trials. They don't give you back 100%. You should check the amount credited back to your credit card.
Update 2/21: Contacted the company as requested. Looking for: 1. Rectification for my case. 2. Rectification for all others who may have been impacted as well. 3. Explanation on how it happened. 4. Measures to prevent this going forward. Awaiting their reply.
Update 2/25: The support ticket number is 324428. The support person replied that "7-day free trial is limited to once every 24-month period. Therefore no trial can be applied when you signed up again this time and your subscription payment was processed immediately." However, on the subscription page when I logged in, it says "Start 7-day free trial". Also, it said "30-day 100% money back guarantee". This is false advertising on your subscription page. I attached a screenshot in the support ticket.

Free data, riddled with errors, costs more than an average used family car!
*********Edit***********
You can see below how the company responds to genuine experiences: defensively and with harassment, and by flagging my review as not genuine unless I provide additional private data. To the company I say, go find your own errors! It's easy, all you need to do is pick a company and compare it to the financial statements! I have no interest in a free membership. I prefer that you just left me alone!
*****original review*******
The company is selling data that are free (from publicly available financial reports) at a price that costs 100 times its fair value for aggregating and presenting it. Furthermore, from the 5 companies I checked, 5 of them had errors in the data (compared against the financial reports), where the wrong numbers had been copied from the reports. 3 of the 5 used a different unit of measure within the same row (for example, when measuring total assets, it would go from $999,999 to $1.0M), which screws up analysis and strips the larger numbers of data due to the massive rounding.
Pricing structure? Pay PER REGION and if there are any delisted companies there, now you're paying an additional membership for that. To get access to the 5 companies I needed, I had to join a trial that cost over $2000 across two regions and two membership options (to get access to that "delisted" company). For FREE data! If it were $20 for all the data in the dataset it might be worth it, but for that price, I expect perfect data, zero errors, lots of depth.
Then, if you want to cancel the trial, there is no cancel button. I'm pretty sure that's illegal in the UK and Europe. You have to email them and request the cancellation, while they try to convince you to stay. No "close account" button (pretty sure that's illegal, too).
Overall, I can't imagine who this would have value for. You can get all the data from the companies directly going back as far as you like for free and aggregate it. You could go on a freelancing website, dump all the reports on them and ask some random person to compile it all for you, if you wanted, and it would still be a fraction of this cost.

Update 10/21/2024:
hi Chris, we have emailed you three times regarding to your review. As I said, if you can point out the errors you mentioned, we will fix the errors ASAP and give you a complimentary membership. Could you please respond? Thank you!

hi Chris, thank you for the comment. However, your observation on the quality of data and the value we provide is definitely different from the majority of the other reviewers. We have very high rating of satisfaction among our users.
Yes, for a few companies, you can compile the data yourself or in a low cost way. But we cover some 50,000 companies. You cannot do that in a timely fashion and provide to users. Let alone you have to standardize them, adjust all the data for historical stock splits, spin-offs and merger/acquisitions. Actually we don't do it ourselves. We spend tens of thousands of dollars every year to license the data as it is impossible to do it ourselves. We save our users a large amount of time. That is one of the values we provide. Our rankings, warning signs and valuations help our users avoid making mistakes in investing. Our powerful screeners help our users to find the stocks that they would never be able to find without it. Those are the values we provide. Just avoiding one mistake in investing can save a lot more money than the annual membership cost, which is only a little higher than $1 a day for most of the users.
If you think we have errors in data, please open a support ticket with us and let us know. The data accuracy is the number one priority for us. We are the last one who wants have errors in data. Sometimes we do have errors in data. But sometimes the users didn't understand the data presentation and thought it is wrong. The chance of having errors in all the five companies you check is zero. We would love to work with you on the data. If they are indeed wrong and we will fix them asap. We will also give you a complimentary membership for pointing out the error.
This is our 20-th year in business. There are good reasons that we can survive 20 years and are still growing. We will also contact you through email to make sure that the data, if wrong, will be fixed.
