✅ FINAL FIX COMPLETE - Metrics Now Displaying Properly!

Issue Resolved: November 6, 2025

---

🔧 The Problem

Calculated financial metrics were showing as N/A in reports because:

1. The financial calculator expected specific field names (e.g., revenue, net_income)
2. Yahoo Finance scraper stored data with different field names (e.g., revenue_(ttm), net_income_avi_to_common_(ttm))
3. The calculator couldn't find the data it needed

---

✅ The Solution

Added a data conversion function (convert_yahoo_data) that:

1. Parses Yahoo Finance value strings (e.g., "416.16B" → 416,160,000,000)
2. Maps Yahoo field names to calculator field names
3. Calculates derived values (COGS, shareholders equity, etc.)
4. Handles percentages correctly
