Acorda Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies that restore function and improve the lives of people with neurological disorders. Co. markets Inbrija (levodopa inhalation powder), which is approved for intermittent treatment of episodic motor fluctuations, also known as OFF periods, in people with Parkinson's disease treated with carbidopa/levodopa. Inbrija utilizes Co.'s ARCUS pulmonary delivery system, a technology platform designed to deliver medication through inhalation. Co. also markets Ampyra (dalfampridine) extended release tablets, 10 mg for improving walking in patients with multiple sclerosis. Ampyra is marketed as Fampyra outside the U.S. The ACOR YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the ACOR YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether ACOR YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the ACOR YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a
coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.
