Cara Therapeutics, Inc. is a development-stage biopharmaceutical company. Co. is focused on treatment paradigm to improve the lives of patients suffering from chronic pruritus. It is developing an oral formulation of difelikefalin, a selective, predominantly peripherally acting, non-scheduled Kappa opioid receptor agonist, for the treatment of chronic neuropathic pruritus associated with Notalgia Paresthetica (NP), a common, underdiagnosed neuropathy affecting the upper back. It is conducting Phase II/III Clinical Program in NP. The CARA YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the CARA 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 CARA 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 CARA 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.
