@christopher.almeling Thanks for your question - you can calculate Tobin's Q ratio using the following:

import refinitiv.data as rd

rd.open_session()

df = rd.get_data(
    universe=['VOD.L'],
    fields=['TR.F.MktCap.date','TR.F.MktCap','TR.F.TotAssets'],
    parameters = {'SDate': -10,'EDate':0,'FRQ':'FY'}
)

df['TobinQ'] = df['Market Capitalization'] / df['Total Assets']
df

I hope this can help.

Hello @christopher.almeling

The Python source code given by my colleague is based on the Refinitiv Data (RD) Library for Python API. You can run it on the standalone environment (the Eikon/Workspace must be opened on the same machine) or via the CodeBook App in Eikon/Workspace.

CodeBook is the cloud-hosted Jupyter Notebook development environment for Python scripting from the application. The CodeBook is natively available in Refinitiv Workspace and Eikon as an app (**no installation required!!**), providing access to Refinitiv APIs and other popular Python libraries that are already pre-installed on the cloud.

Hope this helps.
