Stock Amount
When applicable, a numeric factor relating the ratio of the stock
dividend. For Example:
The factor for a 2/1 stock split would be 2
The factor for a 2/1 reverse split would be .5
The factor for a 3/2 stock split would be 1.5
The factor for a stock dividend of 10% would be 1.10.
The factors reflect the amount that Nasdaq adjusted
the stock price
by on the X-Date. In cases where the Factor values differ from the
Amount values, the factor will always take precedence.
This occurs
frequently with ADS and ADR issues types; where Nasdaq is
occasionally obligated to adjust on X-Date based
on an approximate
value. Other cases can result from truncation or rounding, but the
factor will always reflect the field the stock price is adjusted by.
Also, please note that entries without an X-Date do not get adjusted,
even though a factor may be provided.
Cash Amount
When applicable, this field will contain a numeric factor
relating the
ratio of the cash dividend. For example, the factor for an 8-cent
dividend would be .08.
Please note:
In instances where a Nasdaq-listed issue has declared a dividend that
is subject to certain taxes and fees and there is a GROSS amount and a
NET amount, this field will represent the GROSS amount.
