ticker.info returning value for non existing tickers
Describe bug
The following code used to work fine previously while trying to check if a ticker exists as the info would return 404 error, but not info returns 'trailingPegRatio' value even for non-existing tickers.
Simple code that reproduces your problem
import yfinance as yf
yf.enable_debug_mode()
symbol = "FAKE"
ticker = yf.Ticker(symbol)
info = None
try:
info = ticker.info
except:
print("Ticker {} probably does not exist.".format(symbol))
else:
print("Info of {}:{}".format(symbol, info))
