Allakos Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company, which is engaged in the development of therapeutics that target immunomodulatory receptors present on immune effector cells involved in allergy, inflammatory and proliferative diseases. Co.'s most advanced product candidate, AK006, is in a Phase I clinical trial. AK006 targets Siglec-6, an inhibitory receptor expressed selectively on mast cells. It is developing AK006 for the treatment of CSU and potentially other indications. AK006 has completed preclinical testing, and in these studies, it has demonstrated that binding of AK006 to Siglec-6 inhibits multiple modes of mast cell activation, including IgE, IL-33, KIT, C5a and MRGPR-X2. The ALLK YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the ALLK 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 ALLK 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 ALLK 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.
