Where every figure comes from
Celsmar shows the source and date of every figure it displays, and writes "SIN DATO" (no data) when a figure does not exist instead of estimating it. This page says where each block of information comes from, how often it updates and which part may appear on a public page like this one.

The rule: regulator in the open, provider inside the terminal
There are two kinds of source. Regulatory and public ones (the SEC and CNMV registers, ESEF filings, central banks, official statistics) can be rechecked by anyone and may be published openly: they feed the dividend pages, the dividend calendar and the articles. Commercial ones (quotes, price history, analyst consensus, news) are licensed for use, not for redistribution: they are shown inside the terminal, behind an account, and are not republished on public pages, including this one.
When the same figure could come from several sources, there is a fixed order and the regulatory source wins. If a figure comes from none of them, the screen says "SIN DATO".
Source by source
| Source | What it feeds | How often | Public? |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEC EDGAR (CompanyFacts, XBRL) | Fundamentals of US-listed companies: up to 20 financial years, 150 line items and 58 ratios, dividend per share (backed by commercial providers inside the terminal for fields the XBRL lacks); earnings the moment the filing is lodged | When each filing is lodged; the EDGAR wire is read every second | Yes: public domain |
| CNMV (periodic reports, inside information, other relevant information) | Fundamentals of Spanish listed companies since 2005 and the dividend announcements that feed the dividend calendar (in Spanish) | Daily (announcements) and per filing (accounts) | Yes: public register |
| ESEF (filings.xbrl.org) and EDGAR 20-F | Annual fundamentals of European regulated-market issuers, including the IBEX 35 dividend pages (in Spanish). When a filing lacks a field, inside the terminal it is filled from a commercial provider and the cell says so | Per annual filing | Yes: regulatory filings |
| FRED, World Bank, IMF, OECD, Eurostat, ECB, US Treasury, BEA, BLS, EIA | Macro calendar and series, US Treasury and euro-area AAA yield curves | As each official release comes out | Yes: official statistics |
| US House (Clerk) and Senate (efdsearch); SEC Forms 4 and 5 | Trades by members of Congress and company insiders, read from the original document with its sha256 | Daily | Yes: public documents |
| OpenFIGI, GLEIF, SEC CIK, Companies House, OpenCorporates | Issuer identity: ticker, ISIN, LEI, legal name | When a security is added | Yes: open registers |
| Market data providers (quotes and price history) | Live prices, charts, price history, the portfolio module's dividends, fund NAVs, crypto | Live or daily, depending on the market | No: licensed for use. Inside the terminal only |
| Sovereign debt of 54 countries | Each country's full curve, checked against a second source before publication; rows that disagree are not published | Daily | No: market providers. Inside the terminal only |
| Analyst consensus, news, earnings estimates | Recommendations and target prices, earnings calendar, news by security | Daily | No: commercial providers. Inside the terminal only |
Commercial providers are not named here because their licences govern that; inside the terminal, every figure carries its source and date next to it.
What is checked before publishing
An automatic quality check reviews every fundamentals response: that assets equal liabilities plus equity, that the quarters add up to the year, that an earnings-per-share figure is not on a different scale from the rest of its series, that a dividend is not earnings per share in disguise. Whatever fails the check is voided and noted, not eyeballed into shape. The article An operating margin of 149% tells nine real cases and how they were caught.
Dividend pages are checked by hand against the annual report and the issuer's website, figure by figure, before publication; the audit that accompanies them requires every published number to exist in the filing it claims to come from. When a published figure turns out to be wrong, it is corrected and logged in the corrections register.
And the artificial intelligence
AI reports are generated on top of already-verified data, not on what the model remembers: each analyst in the report cites the figure and the document it uses, and the technical read is drawn by a deterministic engine that measures supports, resistances and divergences; the AI only explains what the engine measured. If the model does not have a figure, it says so.
Frequently asked questions
Where does Celsmar get its financial data?
Fundamentals come from regulators' registers: SEC EDGAR for the US and CNMV, ESEF and 20-F filings for Europe, since 2005. Dividend announcements come from the CNMV. Macro data comes from FRED, the IMF, the ECB and the official statistics offices. Quotes, price history and analyst consensus come from licensed market data providers, which is why they are only shown inside the terminal.
Why does a Celsmar figure not match another website's?
Almost always for one of four reasons: reported versus "adjusted" earnings, two different fiscal periods, a later restatement of the accounts, or a misread scale (thousands for units, pence for pounds). Celsmar publishes the figure the company tagged in its own filing and says which document it comes from, so it can be checked. The article Why the P/E changes depending on where you look explains it with a case.
What does "SIN DATO" mean?
That none of the sources has that figure for that security and period. It is written that way, instead of filling the gap with an estimate or with another period's figure, so that an empty cell never looks like a number.
Can I use Celsmar's data on my website?
What is on the public pages (dividend pages and calendar, glossary, articles) comes from regulatory sources and may be cited with a link to the page. What is inside the terminal comes from providers licensed for use and may not be redistributed. For a licensed integration, get in touch.
