Annual reporting periods — this market does not have reliable quarterly data on Yahoo (either it isn't required, or coverage is incomplete), so annual is the most granular consistent series across free cash flow and dividends.

🏦 Bank/Insurer — valued with the Dividend Discount Model

DCF is not used for bank/insurer stocks: deposits or reserves are a raw material rather than funding, so there's no clean free cash flow. This valuation uses the Dividend Discount Model (DDM) instead.
