Avinger is a commercial-stage medical device company that designs, manufactures and sells real-time image-guided, minimally invasive catheter-based systems that are used by physicians to treat patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Co.'s proprieary image-guided Lumivascular platform includes the Lightbox real-time imaging console, the Ocelot family of catheters, which are image-guided catheters designed to allow physicians to penetrate a total blockage in an artery, known as a chronic total occlusion, and the Pantheris family of catheters, its image-guided atherectomy family of catheters designed to allow physicians to remove arterial plaque in PAD patients. The AVGR YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the AVGR 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 AVGR 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 AVGR 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.
