Definitions

In plain terms

A stock split can create a large mechanical price change. Adjusted history can restate earlier values onto a comparable share basis.

Technical

An adjusted series must declare direction, factor source, factor version, event coverage, price basis, dividend treatment, volume treatment, and reproducible formula.

Scope

Adjusted does not have one universal meaning; price-return and total-return histories can differ.

Examples

  • A governed dataset records adjusted price explicitly and preserves the source context needed to interpret it.

Common misconceptions

  • Adjusted Price does not have one universal meaning or policy without its declared source, scope, and data contract.
