Equity Company Profile Retrieval

import investpy

company_profile = investpy.get_equity_company_profile(equity='bbva',
                                                      country='spain')
print(company_profile)

"Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (BBVA) is a diversified financial company engaged in retail banking ..."

                                                 as_json=True)
