Can't Load info for any Symbol with an .L suffix, eg. MOAT.L, SMH.L, IUFS.L etc
Describe bug
After making a request similar to response = yf.Tickers(tickers = symbol_list) where symbol_list is something like : [ "AMZN", "AAPL", "GOOG", "MOAT.L" ] The first 3 lazy load perfectly, but anything with a .L suffix throws
Simple code that reproduces your problem
symbol_list : list[str] = [ "MOAT.L" ] response = yf.Tickers(tickers = symbol_list) print(response.tickers["MOAT.L"]).info["currentPrice"])

I've noticed this too, not sure where fault lies between Yahoo and yfinance.
Oddly this problem for some but not all tickers for me. For example, IKSA.L is a relatively small, obscure ETF and the data seems fine going back 5 years. But SWDA.L which a huge, well-known ETF doesn't return 200 days of complete data.
I have a script where I iterate through the 503 companies in the S&P500 and in mine I had to replace the '.' in any symbol that had one with a hyphen character '-'. If it works for the companies in the S&P500 that have dots ('.') it should work for any other symbol that has one as well.
*If you have multiple tickers you need to do this to you can put them all in one long string with the symbols separated by spaces and use a list comprehension to replace the dots ('.') with dashes ('-') (and turn the string into a list).
Example: ticker_list_string = 'BRK.B BBY BIO BSX BMY BRO BF.B' ticker_list_hyphenated = [symbol.replace('.', '-') for symbol in ticker_list_string.split()]
