Atlanticus Holdings is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. provides products and services to lenders in the U.S. Co. has two segments: Credit and Other Investments, which provides private label credit and general purpose credit cards originated by lenders through multiple channels, including retail and healthcare, direct mail solicitation, digital marketing and partnerships with third parties; and Auto Finance, which purchases and/or services loans secured by automobiles from or for, and also provides floor plan financing for, a pre-qualified network of automotive dealers and automotive finance companies in the buy-here, pay-here, used car business. The ATLC YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the ATLC 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 ATLC 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 ATLC 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.
