General Electric is a technology industrial company. Co. has four segments: Aviation, which designs and produces commercial and military aircraft engines, integrated engine components, electric power and mechanical aircraft systems; Healthcare, which provides healthcare technologies to markets and has capabilities in medical imaging, digital solutions, patient monitoring and diagnostics, drug discovery and performance improvement solutions; Renewable Energy, which includes onshore and offshore wind, blade manufacturing, grid solutions, hydro, storage, hybrid renewables and digital services offerings; and Power, which provides products and services related to energy production. The General Electric YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the General Electric 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 General Electric 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 GE 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.
