IMAX is an entertainment technology company. Through its proprietary software, theater architecture, patented intellectual property and other equipment, Co. provides an end-to-end solution to create content experiences for which the IMAX® brand is globally renowned. Co. uses its technology and engineering in all aspects of its main business, which principally consists of the digital remastering of films and other contents into the IMAX format and the sale or lease of IMAX theater systems. Co. generally does not own the theaters in the IMAX network, but sells or leases the IMAX System along with a license to use its trademarks. The IMAX YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the IMAX 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 IMAX 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 IMAX 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.
