I just got back from vacation and updated Quicken. My investments have gone up too much. Why?

Question

Two of my investment accounts have gone up 3,000% to 4,000% in two weeks.  What happened to the transactions while I was on vacation?

Since we can't see your Quicken, you'd have to provide more information for anyone here to be able to help. Have you looked at the investment accounts individually? Did every one soar in value, or just one or two? Did you look at the individual securities in an account with inflated value to see which security(ies) are showing a different value in Quicken versus what you see when you log into your Schwab account? With a little digging like this, you should be able to zero in on a culprit.

(That said, @Ps56k2 has taken a pretty good guess! If you own shares of Alphabet (Google), there's a good chance that Friday's 20-for-1 stock split may take a day or two until the split transaction and price histories are fully in sync.)

Google 20-1 stock split as of Friday 7/15/22 ?
