Many applications for historical quotes

There are many ways you can use historical quotes:

Or, download the appropriate industry index as a counter to the defense that all stocks were down during that time period.

? Insider trading litigation--Gain a historical understanding of the stock prices and how they fluctuated at the time the alleged insider trading took place.

? Other litigation--Find the price of a stock at a given time to determine damages or settlement amounts or verify the assets of a company or individual.

? Settling an estate--Verify the price of a stock related to an estate matter, for example determining the fair market value of corporate stock for estate and gift tax purposes.

? Transactional deals--Benchmark companies to track their financial trends in relation to mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, LBOs, corporate finance and other capital matters.

Historical Quotes

Comprehensive collection gives you confidence in your results

You can be sure you are consulting a broad spectrum of quotes and indexes when you use Historical Quotes on the LexisNexis services. In addition to the basic Dow Jones, S&P, AMEX and NASDQ indexes, you also have access to the H&Q, CBOE, Bond Buyer, all the variations on the Dow Jones industry indexes, foreign exchange lists, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Moody's, all the LIBOR indexes, and every S&P industry index, plus many more. You can easily establish industry benchmarks across a range of indexes and time periods.

Identify stock splits and other anomalies quickly

Checking for stock splits, reorganizations, name changes or other anomalies is easy with the complete version of the Capital Changes Reporter. Use it to track a company's historical capital structure, for example, when computing a security holder's gain or loss from capital changes for tax purposes. You can also specify that the quotes be adjusted or unadjusted. Prices will be recalculated automatically allowing you to follow the actual value of an individual share more easily.

Find prices for delisted and no longer existing companies

Companies are often dropped from stock exchange listings, simply go out of business, go private or get swallowed up in mergers and acquisitions. If a company that is now private is sued for something it did when it was public, you might need share prices for periods when it was public. This information can be hard to find. LexisNexis provides historical quotes for delisted, defunct, or merged/acquired companies, as well as companies that have gone private.

Flexibility adds power

The data from a Quotes search can be displayed graphically in a variety of chart formats allowing you to spot trends more quickly. You can also download the data directly into an Excel spreadsheet for your own analyses.
