How to Find Yahoo Finance Stock Price Data


Have you ever searched for data about stock price history? Where can you get it? You can get a history of the company's stock price through the Yahoo Finance website. Here are the steps on how to get stock price history data on Yahoo Finance.


1. Go to the site www.finance.yahoo.com


2. Type the code of the stock you want to find the data for. If you haven't memorized the stock code list, please google it. Here I give an example of shares of PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia (TLKM). When typing the stock code, you must add .JK behind the stock code. JK actually stands for JKSE which means the Jakarta Composite Index.


If so, click search.


3. Then you will be directed to the Yahoo Finance page. Just click on the first page on Yahoo Finance, which has a finance.yahoo site. For example like the image below.


4. After that, click Historical Data. Look at the picture below.


5. After that, a display like the one below will appear.


Now, at Yahoo Finance, stock price historical data that you can download consists of data: Date, opening price (open), highest price (high), lowest price (low), closing price (close), Adj close (closed price that has been set). adjusted), and volume. Adj clos means the closing share price that has been adjusted when the company's corporate actions occur, in this case dividends and stock splits.


Time Period: You can change according to the stock price date data you need,

Show: There are several options, you can choose historical prices, dividend or stock split.

Then to download stock price data, click the menu: Download Data.


That's how to get historical stock price data on Yahoo Finance. This data is very useful especially for OHLC analysis, for working on your thesis or other data.
