Answer 1

I’ll pick Apple (AAPL). I don’t have live market access, so I can’t fetch current or historical prices myself. I can, however:

- show the exact calculation method, and
- fill the chart if you paste the current price and the closing prices from 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year ago (or provide the specific dates).

How to calculate
- Absolute change = Current price − Past price
- Percent change = (Absolute change / Past price) × 100
- Use adjusted close prices (to account for splits/dividends) if you want total-return-style consistency.

Template (I can fill this when you provide prices)
Company Name: Apple (AAPL)

1 Week Performance (+/- and %):
Current price: $____ | Price 1 week ago: $____
Change = $____ (____%)

1 Month Performance (+/- and %):
Current price: $____ | Price 1 month ago: $____
Change = $____ (____%)

6 Month Performance (+/- and %):
Current price: $____ | Price 6 months ago: $____
Change = $____ (____%)

1 Year Performance (+/- and %):
Current price: $____ | Price 1 year ago: $____
Change = $____ (____%)

If you want, I can:
- Compute the numbers if you paste the five prices (current + four historical), or
- Tell you exactly where to copy the adjusted close prices (e.g., Yahoo Finance → Historical Data), or
- Use a quick hypothetical example to demonstrate. Which would you like?
