ImmunityBio is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapies and vaccines that complement, harness, and amplify the immune system to defeat cancers and infectious diseases. Co.'s platforms include: antibody cytokine fusion proteins, which include Anktiva, a class of biopharmaceuticals that improve the therapeutic potential of cytokines, and promote lymphocyte infiltration at a site of disease, improving immune response; and DNA, RNA, and recombinant protein vaccine technologies, which are for infectious diseases to target key viruses, including coronavirus, and for oncology to deliver tumor-associated antigens, and neoepitopes (expressed only by cancer cells). The IBRX YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the IBRX 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 IBRX 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 IBRX 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.
