Nvidia stock split and position P/L


Recommended Posts

Hi, Nvidia split their stock yesterday (20th July) and I can see from IG transaction that my existing shares were "sold" for 0 and 4x the position in new shares were "bought" also at 0.

This all looks fine, the problem is that now my portfolio looks like I've made a huge profit because the shares are priced at zero - this makes it annoying to work out my real P&L as I cannot rely on the dashboard.

Is there a way I can override the purchase price for a position to fix this ? I'm a bit suprised IG's profit and loss is as rudimentary as this...

Hi @rwat11,
Once a company undergoes a corporate action such as a stock split, the Corporate action team will make the changes on your account. They will sell and buy the shares at 0 because the system is design that way.

Once completed you will have to edit your book cost by following the steps of this link here.

Once edited you P&L will be adjusted correctly.

I hope that it helps !

All the best - Arvin

Is it possible to get the original pricing spent against this, having a bit of difficulty recovering the previous details

Ah so this was a stock split? I sold my shares just a few days before the 'split' and was shocked to see it crash so hard. Is there any indicator on the trade UI to show that it was 'split'?

Hi @akaBruce,

There is no marker or indicator on the chart or platform showing that there was a split.  You can find this information on the news or online. Otherwise for Corporate action such as Right issues, the Corporate Action team will send you an email with all the details and your options.

All the best - Arvin

    • Ahead of the Australian Retail Sales data release, the market is expecting a fall of -0.1% in February following a 1.9% rise in January.   Source: Bloomberg   Forex Retail AUD/USD United States dollar Inflation Australian dollar  Tony Sycamore | Market Analyst, Australia | Publication date: Monday 27 March 2023  Retail sales release date Retail trade data will be released on Tuesday, 28th of March at 11:30am AEDT. March board meeting After a crazy week where the global banking crisis took centre stage, there is a renewed focus on Australian macro data ahead of next week’s RBA Board Meeting. Recent events in the banking sector, which make for a more uncertain outlook, have made the RBA’s dovish shift and discussion of a pause at its March Board meeting timelier. The minutes from the March Board meeting noted that the Board agreed it would be appropriate to pause "at some point" to assess the effects of prior rate hikes. As part of its considerations, it would closely watch incoming employment, inflation, business surveys and retail sales data. Members “agreed that upcoming releases on employment, inflation, retail trade and business surveys would provide important additional information, as would developments in the global economy.” Confusing the picture, employment data released in mid-March was stronger than expected. However, business and consumer confidence were soft and this elevates the importance of the release of retail sales for February tomorrow. What is expected? The market is looking for a fall of -0.1% in February following a 1.9% rise in January. There is a wide range of estimates from -1.2% to +0.8%, reflecting the volatility of this series. Less we forget, retail sales fell by 3.9% in December, its largest monthly fall since August 2020. However, that fall was attributed to spending being brought forward to take advantage of Black Friday and cyber-Monday sales.   Source: Trading Economics While an RBA pause in April would appear more likely if retail sales and the monthly CPI indicator released on Wednesday come in at or lower than expected this week, the Australian interest rate market isn’t waiting for confirmation. It is now pricing in the very small chance of a rate cut at next week’s Board Meeting, with a full rate cut priced by October. What does it mean for the AUD/USD? The AUD/USD finished lower last week at .6645 (-0.84%) on risk aversion flows, a fall in the price of iron ore and after rejecting the resistance at .6760/85 coming from the 200-day moving average and the highs of March. While below resistance at .6760/85, the risks remain to the downside for the AUD/USD, with .6520/00 as the next downside target. Aware that should the AUD/USD see a sustained move above resistance at .6560/85, it would negate the bearish bias and allow a more constructive picture to emerge.
