Central Garden & Pet is a producer and distributor of branded and private label products for the lawn and garden and pet supplies markets in the U.S. Co. manages its operations through two reportable segments: Pet, which includes pet supplies categories such as dog and cat supplies, dog treats and chews, aquatics and reptile supplies, small animal and pet bird supplies, animal health products, live fish and small animals as well as outdoor cushions; and Garden, which includes lawn and garden consumables product lines such as grass seed, vegetable, herb and flower packet seed, wild bird products, insect control products, lawn and garden care products including fertilizers and live plants. The CENT YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the CENT 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 CENT 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 CENT 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.
