Why do I have a placeholder entry?

Question

I recently changed brokerage companies and performed my first download/update from the new company (Fidelity).  The register shows the correct number of share of Trip.com that I own (160), and shows the initial purchase of 20 plus three stock splits, but it also shows a placeholder of 160 shares.

This is how it appears:

BoughtX                  20
 StkSplit                      2
 StkSplit                      2
 StkSplit                      2
 Placeholder           160

I don't understand why there is a placeholder entry.

Simply delete the placeholder as it's obviously wrong.That does happen from time to time, that's why you never accept placeholder until you're sure that you need to.
