fundamental-balance-sheet

description

Use to look up the exact path or spelling of any Morningstar BALANCE SHEET field on a QuantConnect/LEAN `Fundamental` object — everything under `f.financial_statements.balance_sheet.*` — assets, liabilities, stockholders' equity, debt, working-capital components, and share counts. Triggers — "path to total assets / total equity / long-term debt / cash and equivalents / inventory / shares issued". For other field families start at the equity-fundamental-data skill.

Balance-sheet fields — Fundamental data points

Full path from the snapshot f with the field's description — copy the path rather than guessing from English names; a wrong path wastes a backtest run. The path-reading rules and the index of all field-family skills are in the equity-fundamental-data skill.

Reading the paths

• A path ending in .[value 1M 2M 3M 6M 9M 12M] is a MultiPeriodField — append one period accessor to read the number. .value is the most recent reported period; the 1M–12M tokens are .one_month .two_months .three_months .six_months .nine_months .twelve_months respectively (trailing-twelve-month at 12M). e.g. f.financial_statements.income_statement.net_income.twelve_months. Forgetting the accessor is silent — the wrapper compares as truthy and numeric inequalities give nonsense.
• A path with no bracket is read directly. e.g. f.valuation_ratios.pe_ratio.
• The integer *_code fields under asset_classification compare against the named constants in the fundamental-classification skill.
