Crown Electrokinetics develops and sells optical switching film that can be embedded between sheets of glass or applied to the surface of glass, or other rigid substrates such as acrylic, to electronically control opacity (DynamicTint). Originally developed by Hewlett-Packard, Co.'s technology allows a transition between clear and dark in seconds and can be applied to an array of windows, including commercial buildings, automotive sunroofs, and residential skylights and windows. At the primary of Co.'s proprietary technology is a thin film that is powered by electrically charged pigment which not only replaces common window tints but is also a sustainable alternative to window treatments. The CRKN YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the CRKN 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 CRKN 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 CRKN 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.
