Cytokinetics is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing muscle activators and muscle inhibitors as potential treatments for debilitating diseases in which muscle performance is compromised and/or declining. Co.'s clinical-stage drug candidates are: Omecamtiv mecarbil, which is being evaluated for the potential treatment of heart failure; Reldesemtiv, which is being evaluated for treatment in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; Aficamten, which is an oral, small molecule cardiac myosin inhibitor being evaluated in patients with symptomatic, obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; and CK-3772271, its second cardiac myosin inhibitor. The CYTK YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the CYTK 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 CYTK 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 CYTK 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.
