# `zfin quote`

Show the latest quote for a symbol, with a price chart and recent
history.

```
Usage: zfin quote <SYMBOL>
```

Prints the last price, the day's open/high/low, volume, and the
day-over-day change, followed by a 20-day chart. Quotes come from Yahoo
(TwelveData fallback) and are **never cached** -- so this command needs
network access and does nothing useful in `--refresh-data=never` mode.

Supports `--export-chart <PATH>` to render the chart as a 1920x1080
PNG instead of text (see [export charts](../../guides/offline-and-refresh.md)
and the projections page).

## Example

```bash
ZFIN_HOME=examples/pre-retirement-both zfin quote SPY
```

```
SPY  $746.74  (close)
========================================
  Date:          2026-06-18
  Open:          $747.76
  High:          $748.23
  Low:           $743.86
  Volume:        80,875,657
  Change:        +$5.78 (+0.78%)

  ... (20-day braille chart)
```
