Alto Ingredients is a producer and marketer of specialty alcohols and essential ingredients. Co.'s business consists of three reportable segments: marketing and distribution, which includes marketing and merchant trading for Co-produced alcohols and essential ingredients on an aggregated basis, and third party fuel-grade ethanol; Pekin production, which includes the production and sale of alcohols and essential ingredients produced at its Pekin, IL campus; and other production, which includes the production and sale of renewable fuel and essential ingredients produced at all of its other production facilities. The ALTO YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the ALTO 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 ALTO 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 ALTO 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.
