eHealth, Inc. is an independent licensed insurance agency and advisor. Co. provides a private online health insurance marketplace with a technology and service platform that provides consumer engagement, education, and health insurance enrollment solutions. Its segments include Medicare and Employer and Individual. It markets a large selection of Medicare-related health insurance plans and, to a lesser extent, ancillary products, such as dental and vision insurance and indemnity plans, to its Medicare-eligible consumers. The EHTH YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the EHTH 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 EHTH 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 EHTH 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.
