Hi there,
Can you point out the exact discrepancy ? The data is fine at our end.
P.S: If I can guess, the data that might be looking like an issue is "VSDA does not currently pay a dividend."
We recently updated our logics and if you can see VSDA missed a January 2021 dividend payment which reset our logics of considering VSDA being a dividend paying stock.
Current logic in place -
To consider a security being a dividend paying one, it is based off payments made throughout the year, if a company pays out dividends on a quarterly basis and has for example only made 3 payments for a certain year, it is no longer considered consistent for that year.
Hope this helps!
