Adjusted Close is not the same as Close for stocks and ETFs and mutual funds that pay dividends and have other distributions --

For example, scroll down https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/XEL/history?p=XEL

Date, Close, Adjusted.Close

June 14: 42.87, 42.87 <-same for June 14 and later dates

June 14 distribution: 0.38

June 13: 42.50, 42.12 <- different for June 13 and earlier dates

Adjusted close is close but adjusted for the dividend.

If it's not that, what is it that you think is redundant?
