You can view historical price, dividend, and split data for most quotes in Yahoo Finance to forecast the future of a company or gain market insight. Historical data can be downloaded as a CSV file to be used offline, which you can open with Excel or a similar program. If the data requested is beyond the range of historical prices available through Yahoo Finance, all available data within the range is displayed. Historical prices usually don't go back earlier than 1970.
