Hello, can anyone advise on the following? Was watching YouTube vid on Rolls Royce (was UK vid, am aware US citizens have access to trade with RRYCEY, but sure this was about LSE £) and the price chart used didn’t seem to correspond with the T212 chart, history-wise: e.g. YouTube £ history for preceding 5-6 years would have highest price just in excess of £3, while T212 max around £10-12 (in fact, was over £6 just before Covid hit Feb 20)? Can anyone clarify? I’ve checked out Yahoo Finance history and that seems to agree with the <>£3 max over preceding 5 years. Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Hey 
, let me DM you so we can check that together.
They had a rights issue in 2020. Share price was over £10 before Covid.
I meant well before covid. Here is their DRIP history, https://www.rolls-royce.com/~/media/Files/R/Rolls-Royce/documents/investors/c-share-issue-and-redemption-information-jan2009-jul2021.pdf
You can see share price peaked at over £12 in 2014, and was £6.77 for DRIP in Jan 2020
Noticing the same here now. Google finance shows a high of ~428 in 2014 and only ~339 in July 2018 while on T212 it’s showing a high of 1083 in July 2018! Based on T212 only I thought there was still a lot of recovery potential, before checking google & other charts. If anyone knows why this is please let us know. Shows it’s important to check multiple sources before making investing decisions though!

The company had a rights issue offering shares at a ratio of 10:3 back in 2020. Since some providers adjust their price charts for rights issues and we do not, there is a difference of 10:3 resulting from this event.
