J&J Snack Foods manufactures snack foods and distributes frozen beverages which it markets nationally to the foodservice and retail supermarket industries. Co. operates in three business segments: Food Service, which sells soft pretzels, frozen novelties, churros, handheld products and baked goods; Retail Supermarkets, which sells soft pretzel products, frozen novelties, WHOLE FRUIT frozen fruit bars and sorbet, DOGSTERS, PHILLY SWIRL cups and sticks, SOUR PATCH sticks, ICEE Squeeze-Up Tubes and handheld products; and Frozen Beverages, which sells frozen beverages to the food service industry as well as provides repair and maintenance services to customers for customers' owned equipment. The JJSF YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the JJSF 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 JJSF 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 JJSF 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.
