Convert Company Entity to Finance Entity

Question

Is there an easy/straightforward way to get the corresponding Finance entity given a Company entity if it’s available?

I have a hack-y fix just y taking the “Name” property for the Company and passing that into FinanceData though this does not work 100% of the time.

Thanks!

One way is to use the CommonShares property of a company entity to retrieve the associated financial entities (assuming the data are available). For example:

$company = Interpreter["Company"]["Apple"]

$financials = $company["CommonShares"]

Through[$financials["Symbol"]]

$financials[[1]]["Properties"]

$financials[[1]]["Price"]

FinancialData[$financials[[1]], {{2022,3,1}, {2022,3,31}}] // DateListPlot
