Understanding terminology

I own 10 shares of AMD and bought them through ally.com as part of my investing account.

I don't know if this is a quirk of ally or just how all interfaces work, but you can see in this screenshot: https://ibb.co/wZC5Rfhx

It shows a last price (I understand that) with a change, (down 4.1%). How is the percentage calculated? What is the reference point for being down? Additionally, the "Todays G/L" is similar, what is the reference. Is this just showing theoretical loss since some last reference point? What is that reference?

Fixing broken irrigation line

I've got about 300' of buried pvc irrigation line that I laid about 5 years ago. I think this past winter finally did it in. I always blow the line out before the first frost but something must have shifted or otherwise cracked it because it won't build any pressure and the water fill just runs forever.

So what's the best way to try and find the leak? It's about 2 feet down. I can quickly narrow down sections and rule out where the break isn't but unless I get really lucky and see shattered pipe, I don't want to drill holes and see if water sprays out. What's a good way to test the integrity of the pipe at certain intervals?
