Why this matters
This reads as a change in infrastructure rather than a move in price, and that distinction decides what is worth verifying: whether the underlying record moved, or only the interface around it.

On Public companies object, the scope is limited to what the linked 2 reports state, and where they diverge both positions are recorded without either being picked in advance; the headline figure is what to check first.
