@KeenenW Although it's technically (barely) down from yesterday's close, holders at yesterday's close (or rather before today's open) may be up (currently +1¢) thanks to the 25¢ ex-div today (record date is Monday) . This is why it shows as up in most sites eg. Google, Yahoo!, CNBC. I assume you will not adjust for the dividend, as the description seems pretty clear.
@deagol Looks like Nasdaq already accounts for the dividend. AAPL dropped $0.52 from yesterday's close, but the reported change is only -$0.27
@KeenenW They account for it in the quote for the day's change, but not in the historical data (link in description). But that's the question, which change does this market resolve to. Luckily no ambiguity today, but just by a hair. We should iron it out for the future.

Given this is a point within the "resolves to" link, I'd interpret it as using the historical closing data in that linked table, not the daily quotes. I see nothing in the description about adjusting for dividends, although yes for splits (which of course makes perfect sense).
@KeenenW thanks, and I must say you're already doing a pretty good job compared to a few others. Greatly appreciate the quick response and resolutions. :)
