On both of these stocks I spent around the same amount of money. Both are in dollars (I converted from € to $). The only difference is that I bought the first one before the second one. The fx impact doesn’t make any sense to me. Why 1 is higher and 1 is lower?

I think I get it now. When I bought the first stock, the dollar value was probably higher and now it’s lower.
