Error message

There were no results found for any of the given symbols. -> {symbols}

What it means

EmptyDataError raised in the per-symbol branch of the Intrinio forward P/E fetcher when asyncio.gather completed for every requested symbol but the shared results list is still empty - i.e., each symbol's response contained no usable forward_pe rows. Note this branch uses return_exceptions=True, so per-symbol failures are collected, not raised, unless they are UnauthorizedError/OpenBBError.

Solutions

1. Test one symbol at a time to find which have coverage.
2. Verify symbols are valid and actively listed.
3. Fall back to another estimates provider for uncovered tickers.
4. If ALL symbols including AAPL return empty, check the API key entitlement for Zacks data.

# pre-filter batch to symbols that exist
valid = [s for s in symbols if quote_exists(s)]  # quote_exists via any cheap quote call
if not valid:
    raise ValueError('no valid symbols')

from openbb_core.provider.exceptions import EmptyDataError
try:
    res = obb.equity.estimates.forward_pe(symbol=','.join(syms), provider='intrinio')
except EmptyDataError:
    res = [obb.equity.estimates.forward_pe(symbol=s, provider='fmp') for s in syms]

When it happens

Trigger: equity/estimates/forward_pe(symbol='A,B,C', provider='intrinio') where every symbol returns an empty or null 'forward_pe' array (get_one only appends when data is truthy), so gather succeeds but results stays [].

Common situations: Batch of small-cap/OTC tickers with no forward P/E consensus; all symbols delisted or misspelled; free-tier entitlement returning empty bodies rather than errors.
