Nordstrom, Inc. is a fashion retailer that offers private-label merchandise for women, men, young adults, and children, with a focus on apparel, shoes, beauty, accessories and home goods. Co.'s Retail segment aggregates two operating segments: Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack. The Nordstrom segment consists of Nordstrom.com, Nordstrom U.S. stores and Nordstrom Local. The Nordstrom Rack segment consists of NordstromRack.com, Nordstrom Rack U.S. stores and last chance clearance stores. Nordstrom Rack purchases merchandise from many of the same vendors carried at Nordstrom and also serves as an outlet for clearance merchandise from the Nordstrom banner. The JWN YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the JWN 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 JWN 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 JWN 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.
