Stock splits

[derekgair]

How does ghostfolio support stock splits, such as the recent 1:20 stock split of Amazon?

I don't see anyway to enter one.

Hi @derekgair

Unfortunately, stock splits are not yet automated in Ghostfolio.
You can reimport historical data via Admin Control > Market Data > AMZN > Gather Data to normalize the data, though. In a second step, go through each of your activities and multiply the quantity with 20 and divide the unit price by 20.

I wonder if it is possible to create a new transaction type "split". When iterating through the transactions in date order, the total quantity would be multiplied by the split amount (similar to the way buy/sell modifies the total quantity). I assume the unit price would already have been updated by the price provider.

I've just cloned the repo, maybe I give the code change a try... When I get time :).

[dtslvr]

Yes, introducing a new type SPLIT sounds reasonable.
Let me know if I can support you with the setup.

Oh man, after going through 4+ years of transactions, I would really enjoy having a split capability. So many manual adjustments, to have everything line up properly for a portfolio, which will only get worse with more history...

I've mocked up a draft PR that adds a new SPLIT order type. Currently it's quite simple and doesn't support a mixed stock split.

@dtslvr I would appreciate if you could have a look at the PR to see if it's along the right lines? Then mixed stock split support and maybe getting stock split data automatically from Yahoo could be added later as improvement.

Hate to dredge up an old conversation, but has anyone worked out a solution for this? I have a couple of stocks that have had splits (normal and reverse) that I need to enter.

Indeed, it lacks a "type" category about merge&split like :
1 Google = 100 (new Google) at date
/ or /
19 At&t at date = 15 (new)At&t + 3 WarnerMedia + cash (in bonus or malus).

Yahoo finance holds this kind of data ;-)

Nice job by the way, pursue 👍

Although it's not a solution, a workaround I found for a stock split is to import the remaining shares at price 0 wth the buy type. I downloaded my report from Revolut and they report it that way

Date	Code	DataSource	Currency	Price	Quantity	Action	Fee	Note
2023-12-30	STONK	YAHOO	USD	100	1	buy	0
2023-12-31	STONK	YAHOO	USD	0	9	buy	0	Stock split
2023-12-31	STONK	YAHOO	USD	10	10	sell	0

I have also done this, was hoping there was a better solution in the works. Would be nice to be able to see them as a different thing, so that it is filterable too.

Any movement on this / timeline? This is what I'd consider a rather large blocker for tracking stocks accurately.

I second this feature request - with a long transaction list, this is essential.
Is data being exposed through the Yahoo Finance API? https://finance.yahoo.com/calendar/splits/

[augustocollerone]

I would love to have this feature added. I've imported transactions dating a few years back and it's quite a mess to manually update the quantities to reflect the correct balance after the split

[kmanan]

Another vote for this feature. The limitation in the Action Type is making importing data and matching the numbers very difficult

[Hemie143]

Upvoting. Without this feature, it's a no-go for me to use this nice tool.
