About Yahoo Finance

Yahoo Finance is one of the most visited finance sites, covering stock, ETF, fund, currency, bond, commodity and crypto quotes alongside business news and its own video shows. Free features include interactive charts with indicators and symbol comparisons, stock screeners, earnings and IPO calendars, downloadable historical prices, and watchlists and portfolios where you can record holdings and transactions to track performance. Paid subscription plans add more research, such as analyst reports, deeper fundamentals and an ad-free experience. It suits everyday investors who want quick quotes, news and a simple way to follow a portfolio for free, and it's a common data source for spreadsheets and hobby projects. Active traders usually outgrow its charts and move to a dedicated platform like TradingView, and the free pages carry a lot of advertising. It runs on the web and has Yahoo Finance apps for iPhone and Android.

Best for: Everyday investors who want free quotes, news and a simple portfolio tracker.
