argenx is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing differentiated therapies for the treatment of severe autoimmune diseases and cancer. Co. is developing its main product candidate, efgartigimod, for the treatment of patients with myasthenia gravis, immune thrombocytopenia, pemphigus vulgaris and chronic demyelinating polyneuropathy, all of which are severe autoimmune diseases associated with high levels of circulating pathogenic immunoglobulin G antibodies for which there are few biologic treatments and a severe unmet medical need exists. Co. is also developing cusatuzumab in hematological cancer indications, acute myeloid leukemia, as well as high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. The ARGX YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the ARGX 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 ARGX 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 ARGX 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.
