DISH Network is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. operates two primary business segments: Pay-TV and Wireless. Co. provides pay-TV services under the DISH® brand and the SLING® brand. Co. also designs, develops and distributes receiver systems and provides digital broadcast operations. Co. provides prepaid and postpaid retail wireless services to subscribers under its Boost Mobile, Ting Mobile, Republic Wireless and Gen Mobile brands, as well as a portfolio of wireless devices. Co. also invests to acquire wireless spectrum licenses. These wireless spectrum licenses are subject to certain interim and final build-out requirements, as well as certain renewal requirements. The Dish Network YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the Dish Network 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 Dish Network 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 DISH 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.
