get_shares_full returns more than one number of outstanding shares per date
laygr opened this issue · comments
Describe bug
When retrieving the number of outstanding shares via get_shares_full, for some dates I get two rows with very different numbers of outstanding shares.
For example, for MSFT, I would get the following result:
2024-05-30 00:00:00-04:00 7432309760
2024-05-31 00:00:00-04:00 7432309760
2024-05-31 00:00:00-04:00 7698290176
Notice how for 2024/05/31, it returns two numbers: 7432309760 and 7698290176.

Any way to know which is correct guaranteed? Otherwise yfinance can't fix.
