Labcorp Holdings (LH) - Stock exchanged in name change - how to record? (edit)

Jerry2

Windows Quicken Deluxe desktop.

On 5/27/2024, LABORATORY CORP AMER HLDGS NEW shares were exchanged for LABORATORY CP AMER HLDGS NEW. One to one exchange.

How is this recorded in Quicken? After the download from the broker, Quicken created 2 placeholders, one for the missing shares and one for the new shares. Should I record this as a corporate name change and delete the placeholders, or some other way?

Thank you.

It does seem to be nothing more than a name change, but I'm not entirely sure. I can't find any indication that the CUSIP has changed.

I'd simply change the name of your prior holding.

And, from LabCorp's website:

Today Labcorp announced that it intends to implement a new holding company structure on May 17, 2024. The name of the new holding company will be Labcorp Holdings Inc. The new parent company will replace Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings as the publicly-traded entity and Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Labcorp Holdings Inc. The new parent's name is more closely aligned with the brand name, and the company will have a structure that is optimized to reflect the company's operations. Common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE on an uninterrupted basis under the existing symbol "LH" and Laboratory Corporation of America stockholders will automatically become stockholders of Labcorp Holdings Inc. on a one-for-one basis with all of the same rights.

Thank you both. You both gave me the same answer but I could only mark one as "answered".

just curious - what were the 2 stock symbols involved - or was it just a "name change" ?

NotACPA

@Ps56k2 According to their website, it was a name change only … ticker was and remains LH

q_lurker

what were the 2 stock symbols involved

as identified in NotACPA’s post above, the symbol did not change; it remains as LH.
