Kiora Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on developing products for treating disorders of the eye. Co.'s key product in clinical development is the EyeGate Ocular Bandage Gel, a topically applied eye drop formulation of modified hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a naturally occurring polymer that is used in various physiological processes, including wound healing, hydration, tissue homeostasis, and joint lubrication. Co. modifies the HA through chemical cross-linking, which allows it to adhere to the ocular surface providing protection and lubrication for the treatment of corneal wounds, defects, and epitheliopathies. The KPRX YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the KPRX 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 KPRX 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 KPRX 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.
