Frontdoor, Inc. is a U.S. provider of home warranties, offering customizable plans to protect homes from unexpected breakdowns of essential systems and appliances. Operating under brands like American Home Shield, HSA, OneGuard, and Landmark Home Warranty, the company's annual service plans cover over 20 major components, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems, and appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers. Optional coverages are available for electronics, pools, and spas. Additionally, Frontdoor utilizes its Streem technology platform, which employs augmented reality and machine learning to assist home service professionals in diagnosing and repairing issues efficiently. The FTDR YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the FTDR 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 FTDR 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 FTDR 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.
