Data sources

What the numbers are, where they come from, and how current they are.

Market and company data

Prices, volume, historical series and published company fundamentals are retrieved from public market-data endpoints. Symbol coverage for Indian equities is built from the NSE's public equity list; US coverage is built from the public Nasdaq Trader symbol directories, which include both Nasdaq- and NYSE-listed securities.

How current the figures are

Figures are the latest available from our data source, not a real-time exchange feed. They may be delayed. We deliberately avoid the words "live" and "real-time" anywhere on the site, because we cannot guarantee either. Each stock page shows when its company data was retrieved.

Handling of missing or implausible data

Where a required figure is unavailable, the affected signal is omitted rather than estimated. Where a figure is ambiguous enough that displaying it risks being materially wrong — for example a dividend yield whose units cannot be reliably determined — it is omitted entirely. Showing nothing is preferable to showing a confidently wrong number.

News

Headlines shown on stock pages are aggregated from public news feeds and link to their original publishers. Headline sentiment tagging is automated and approximate; it is a rough signal, not an editorial judgement.

Corrections

If you find a figure that looks wrong, please report it via the feedback link. Data errors are worth knowing about and are acted on.

Educational only — not financial advice. checkthestock provides automated, rules-based interpretations of public market data. It is not personalised investment advice, and the same output is shown to every visitor. Always do your own research and consult a licensed financial adviser before investing.
