Overview

The KPI Metrics API returns structured operational KPIs that are not available in standard financial statements. These are the metrics that drive investment theses:
  • Airlines: load factor, CASM-ex-fuel, passenger yield, revenue per ASM, fuel cost per gallon
  • Banks: CET1 ratio, net interest margin, efficiency ratio, ROTCE, trading revenue
  • REITs: FFO per share, same-store NOI growth, occupancy, lease spreads, cap rates
  • Retail: comparable store sales, e-commerce growth, membership revenue
  • Semiconductors: data center revenue, gaming revenue, automotive revenue
Data is sourced from earnings releases, earnings call transcripts, and press releases. Each metric includes the source text and a direct link to the source document.
Pro and above — This data is available to Pro and Enterprise customers.
