FMC Corporation is an agricultural sciences company. It is engaged in providing solutions to growers with a product in crop protection, crop enhancement, and professional pest and turf management. It develops, markets, and sells all three classes of crop protection chemicals (insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides) and biologicals, crop nutrition, and seed treatment products, which is grouped as plant health. Its insecticides are used to control a range of pests, while its herbicide portfolio primarily targets a variety of difficult-to-control weeds. Its product portfolio features two diamide-class molecules, namely Rynaxypyr (chlorantraniliprole) and Cyazypyr (cyantraniliprole) actives. The FMC YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the FMC 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 FMC 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 FMC 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.
