errors in Financials
Evidently, Yahoo Financials are coming from a new source.
In ALL cases, the "Short/Current Long Term Debt" is wrong.
For instance, for the stock symbol WM:
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/WM/balance-sheet?p=WM
Period Ending 3/31/18 12/31/17 9/30/17 6/30/17
Current Liabilities (in thousands)
Short/Current Long Term Debt 9,957,000 9,491,000 9,345,000 9,057,000
Actual data from SEC website (in millions):
Current portion of long-term debt 1,056 739 850 390
A simple look at the total current liabilities should have told your programmers that there is a problem, because the total current liabilities is much less than its component parts:
Current Liabilities (in thousands)
Accounts Payable 791,000 1,040,000 789,000 808,000
Short/Current Long Term Debt 9,957,000 9,491,000 9,345,000 9,057,000
Other Current Liabilities 624,000 633,000 624,000 635,000
Total Current Liabilities 3,373,000 3,262,000 3,259,000 2,770,000
(This problem did not occur with your previous source of data.)
In many cases, the "Operating Income or Loss" is also inaccurate.

(in thousands)
Revenue 3/31/18 12/31/17 9/30/17 6/30/17
Operating Income or Loss 607,000 678,000 708,000 678,000
Actual data from SEC websites (in millions):
Operating income 608 704 701 673

Please correct these problems!
P.S. The last time I reported problems, I got this message:
"In the future, you click on ‘Give feedback on search experience’ when searching tickers in the search bar of Yahoo Finance."
Maybe that is not available in all browsers? I cannot find anything in the search bar of Yahoo Finance that says "give feedback".
