Investopedia explains 'Net Change'

Net change is used in technical analysis to analyze stock prices. For example, if ABC stock closed at $10 yesterday and it closed at $10.25 today, then the net change is $.25. In the case where a stock price is automatically adjusted to reflect a dividend distribution or stock split, the net change will not be affected. Thus, a stock that trades at $60 one day and splits 2-for-1 the next day and closes at $30 will have a net change of zero.
