tl;dr;
The code below works for the given test cases. With much longer lists please see the ToDo section.
API:
You want to look into an API to provide this info if possible. I believe Alpha Vantage now provide info the Yahoo Finance API used to* . There is a nice JS tutorial here. Alpha Vantage documentation here. At the very bottom of this answer, I have a quick look at the time series functions available via the API.
WEBSERVICE function:
With an API key, you can also potentially use the webservice function in Excel to retrieve and parse data. Example here. Not tested.
XMLHTTPRequest and class:
However, I will show you a way using a class and a loop over URLs. You can improve on this. I use a bare bones class called clsHTTP to hold the XMLHTTP request object. I give it 2 methods. One, GetHTMLDoc, to return the request response in an html document, and the other, GetInfo, to return an array of the items of interest from the page.
Using a class in this way means we save on the overhead of repeatedly creating and destroying the xmlhttp object and provides a nice descriptive set of exposed methods to handle the required tasks.
It is assumed your data is as shown, with header row being row 2.
ToDo:
The immediately obvious development, IMO, is you will want to add some error handling in. For example, you might want to develop the class to handle server errors.
VBA:
So, in your project you add a class module called clsHTTP and put the following:
clsHTTP
Option Explicit
Private http As Object
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
Set http = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
End Sub
Public Function GetHTMLDoc(ByVal URL As String) As HTMLDocument
Dim html As HTMLDocument
Set html = New HTMLDocument
With http
.Open "GET", URL, False
.send
html.body.innerHTML = StrConv(.responseBody, vbUnicode)
Set GetHTMLDoc = html
End With
End Function
Public Function GetInfo(ByVal html As HTMLDocument, ByVal endPoint As Long) As Variant
Dim nodeList As Object, i As Long, result(), counter As Long
Set nodeList = html.querySelectorAll("tbody td")
ReDim result(0 To endPoint - 1)
For i = 1 To 2 * endPoint Step 2
result(counter) = nodeList.item(i).innerText
counter = counter + 1
Next
GetInfo = result
End Function
In a standard module (module 1)
Option Explicit
Public Sub GetYahooInfo()
Dim tickers(), ticker As Long, lastRow As Long, headers()
Dim wsSource As Worksheet, http As clsHTTP, html As HTMLDocument
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wsSource = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1") '<== Change as appropriate to sheet containing the tickers
Set http = New clsHTTP
headers = Array("Ticker", "Previous Close", "Open", "Bid", "Ask", "Day's Range", "52 Week Range", "Volume", "Avg. Volume", "Market Cap", "Beta", "PE Ratio (TTM)", "EPS (TTM)", _
"Earnings Date", "Forward Dividend & Yield", "Ex-Dividend Date", "1y Target Est")
With wsSource
lastRow = GetLastRow(wsSource, 1)
Select Case lastRow
Case Is < 3
Exit Sub
Case 3
ReDim tickers(1, 1): tickers(1, 1) = .Range("A3").Value
Case Is > 3
tickers = .Range("A3:A" & lastRow).Value
End Select
ReDim results(0 To UBound(tickers, 1) - 1)
Dim i As Long, endPoint As Long
endPoint = UBound(headers)
For ticker = LBound(tickers, 1) To UBound(tickers, 1)
If Not IsEmpty(tickers(ticker, 1)) Then
Set html = http.GetHTMLDoc("https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/" & tickers(ticker, 1) & "/?p=" & tickers(ticker, 1))
results(ticker - 1) = http.GetInfo(html, endPoint)
Set html = Nothing
Else
results(ticker) = vbNullString
End If
Next
.Cells(2, 1).Resize(1, UBound(headers) + 1) = headers
For i = LBound(results) To UBound(results)
.Cells(3 + i, 2).Resize(1, endPoint-1) = results(i)
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Public Function GetLastRow(ByVal ws As Worksheet, Optional ByVal columnNumber As Long = 1) As Long
With ws
GetLastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, columnNumber).End(xlUp).Row
End With
End Function
Results:
Notes on GetInfo method and CSS selectors:
The class method of GetInfo extracts the info from each webpage using a css combination selector to target the page styling.
The info we are after on each page is house in two adjacent tables, for example:
Rather than mess around with multiple tables I simply target all the table cells, within table body elements, with a selector combination of tbody td.
The CSS selector combination is applied via the querySelectorAll method of HTMLDocument, returning a static nodeList.
The returned nodeList items have headers at even indices and the required data at odd indices. I only want the first two tables of info so I terminate the loop over the returned nodeList when I gave gone twice the length of the headers of interest. I use a step 2 loop from index 1 to retrieve only the data of interest, minus the headers.
A sample of what the returned nodeList looks like:

Alpha Vantage API:
A quick look at the time series API call shows that a string can be used
https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY&symbol=AA&outputsize=full&apikey=yourAPIKey
This yields a JSON response that in the Time Series (Daily) sub dictionary of the overall returned dictionary, has 199 dates returned. Each date has the following info:
A little digging through the documentation will unveil whether bundling of tickers is possible, I couldn't see this quickly, and whether more of your initial items of interest are available via a different query string.
There is more info, for example, using the TIME_SERIES_DAILY_ADJUSTED function in the URL call
https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY_ADJUSTED&symbol=AA&outputsize=full&apikey=yourAPIkey
Here, you then get the following:
You can parse the JSON response using a JSON parser such as JSONConverter.bas and there are also options for csv download.
* Worth doing some research on which APIs provide the most coverage of your items. Alpha Vantage doesn't appear to cover as many as my code above retrieves.
