- For the cost of capital itself, use
valuation_wacc.
What it does
The risk-free curve for the cost of capital: each maturity's latest rate and its average over recent days (90 by default), from the Bundesbank's Svensson curve for Federal securities (the IDW base rate's starting point), the ECB's AAA euro area curve, or the US Treasury's par yields. As decimals, ready for valuation_wacc.
What comes back
source, basis, as_of, average_over_days, curve (years, latest, average, observations), url, terms, and a note for maturities not published. Every reply also carries cost_usd and balance_usd.
