Kineta is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of disease-modifying therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. Co.'s primary program, YTX-7739, is in development for the potential treatment and disease modification of Parkinson's disease. YTX-7739 targets an enzyme known as stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD). Inhibition of SCD in multiple cellular systems, including patient-derived neurons, as well as in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease, has been demonstrated to reverse the toxicity of misfolded alpha-synuclein, a protein strongly associated with Parkinson's disease. The KA YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the KA 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 KA 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 KA 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.
