Missing EOM security price

Early in September I reconciled my August statements for my two investment accounts. The share prices on the 8/31/25 Schwab statement matched the downloaded historical prices from 8/29/25 (Friday, last day of trading). So far, so good.

Due to life circumstances, I didn't start reconciling the Schwab 9/30/25 statements until today. I did the Download Historical Prices thing as usual (actually several times using the Last Year option), but none of the securities on either of the accounts matched what was on the statements. Further examination of the Price History for several securities revealed that the last September Price History entries were for 9/26/25 (Friday) even though Schwab shows closing values for Monday 9/29/25 through Friday 10/3/25 trading days (including 9/30/25 that matches what is on the Schwab statements). The next Price History entries in Quicken are for Friday 10/3/25 and seem to go on from there normally.

Curious, I pulled up the October 10/31/25 statement and found that the security prices on the statement match the security prices in 10/31/25 Quicken Account Overview.

I also have a 2nd (independent) Quicken file that I also track investments with. There are a few securities that are common between the single Schwab investment account in File #2 and the other two Schwab accounts in File #1. Curiously, the Price History in File #2 is complete (no missing dates).

So the $64,000 question is why do security share prices for all securities, for two different accounts, for 9/29/25-10/2/25 (Mon-Thur) not show up the the Price History in File #1?

    Updating Historical Prices should have downloaded the requested securities, but, AFAIK, only if no price history already existed. Download won't correct manually entered prices or otherwise incorrect entries.

    Go into the Investing Tab, Portfolio View. Set the Date in the View header to the desired end of month date.
    Using the brokerage statements overtype the security price shown to the correct statement price.

    As far as your $64K question is concerned, this may well depend on the exact timing of running One Step Update or otherwise updating price history. It may also depend on whether there were transactions downloaded for these securities on that date.

    @Jim_Harman 's answer, or you can simply enter in the values for the missing end-of-month date and move on. I typically prefer to enter such values in a Portfolio View (Ctrl-u) or the Holdings view that includes the Price column. Be sure the As of date for the view is the consistent with the prices you are entering.
