Co. operates in three primary lines of business: Short Distance, which consists primarily of flights between New York area airports and Co.'s terminals in Manhattan's heliports; MediMobility Organ Transport and Jet, which consists transportation of human organs for transplant, by-the-seat, jet flights between New York and both Miami and Aspen; and Other, which consists of transportation services to Co.'s fliers. The BLDE YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the BLDE 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 BLDE 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 BLDE 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.
