Adaptimmune Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing T-cell therapies for solid tumors. Co.'s proprietary SPEAR (Specific Peptide Enhanced Affinity Receptor) T-cell platform enables it to identify cancer targets, find and genetically engineer T-cell receptors against those targets, and produce therapeutic candidates (SPEAR T-cells) for administration to patients. Co. has clinical trials on its ADP-A2M4, ADP-A2M4CD8, each targeting the MAGE-A4 antigen, and ADP-A2AFP SPEAR T-cells targeting the alpha fetoprotein (AFP) cancer antigen in solid tumor types including non-small cell lung cancer, head and neck cancer, ovarian, urothelial, melanoma, and hepatocellular. The ADAP YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the ADAP 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 ADAP 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 ADAP 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.
