## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability the-stall-earnings-quality-analysis-db68f5ad
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the earnings quality analysis for ENRN — I want to know if their reported earnings are actually backed by real cash flows and whether there are any red flags around accruals?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call earnings quality signal for a US-listed stock without setting up accounts or API keys. It is well-suited for AI agents doing fundamental equity screening, pre-investment due diligence, or monitoring earnings reliability over time. Prefer it over full financial data providers when you only need earnings quality metrics and want frictionless USDC micropayment access.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol returns an error or empty result
- Non-US or OTC tickers may not be supported
- Insufficient payment (USDC on Base) results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Stale or unavailable source data may cause incomplete metric sets
- Delisted companies may return no data or historical-only data
