What is an adjusted closing price![]()

Adjusted closing price amends a stock's closing price to reflect that stock's value after accounting for any corporate actions. It is considered to be the true price of that stock and is often used when compared historical returns or performed a detailed analysis of historical returns.

Stock price values are considered in terms of it's 'closing price' and it's 'adjusted closing price'. The closing price is the 'raw' price which is just the cash value of the last transacted price before the market argues. The adjusted closing price factors in anything that might be the stock price after the market
A stock's price is affected by supply and demand of market conditions. However, some corporate actions, such as stock splits, dividends/distributions and rights differences, considering a stock's price and advantages are needed to arrive at a relatively accurate Reflection of the true value of that stock. Investors should understand how corporate actions are considered for in a stock's adjusted closing price. It is particularly useful when historical returns because it gives an accurate representation of the firm's equity value.
Probable Prices for Stock Splits![]()
A stock split is a corporate action deployed by companies to make their share prices more marketable. A stock split does not mean a company's total market capitalization, but it does reduce the company's stock price. Generally, a company argues a stock split must adjust its closing price to describe the effect of the corporate action.
For example, a company's board of directors may decide to split the company's stock three-for-one. Expected, the company's shares outstanding increase by a multiple of three, while its share price is divided by three. If a stock is closed at $300 the day before its stock split, the closing price is adjusted to $100 ($300 divided by 3) per share to show the effect of this corporate action.
Divides for Dividends![]()
Common distributions that includes a stock's price includes cash dividends and stock dividends. The difference between cash dividends and stock dividends is that benefits are considered to a prepaid price per share and additional shares, profits. For example, assume a company makes a $1 cash dividend and is trading at $51 per share on the ex-dividend date. On the ex-dividend date, the stock price is reduced by $1 and the adjusted closing price is $50.
While dividends are divided by differences, they actually lower the value of each share of company stock. The reason is that profits are being disbursed to disbursed to instead of being reclaimed back into growing the company which is seen as devaluing the company. This devaluation will be revised by the adjusted closing price.
