Emmis Communications is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is a media company, principally focused on radio broadcasting. Co. owns Frequency Modulation (FM) and Amplitude Modulation radio stations in New York, Indianapolis, and Austin. One of the FM radio stations that Co. owns in New York is operated pursuant to a Local Marketing Agreement whereby a third party provides the programming for the station and sells all advertising within that programming. In addition to its radio properties, Co. also publishes Indianapolis Monthly and operates Digonex Technologies, Inc., a pricing business. The EMMS YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the EMMS 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 EMMS 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 EMMS 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.
