Why do I have a placeholder entry?

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.
