Gladstone Land Corporation is a real estate investment trust that acquires and owns farmland and farm-related properties located in various agricultural markets in the U.S.. Co. owns around 168 farms, comprised of 112,000 acres in 15 different states and 46,400 acre-feet of water assets in California. Its farms are predominantly located in regions where its tenants are able to grow fresh produce annual row crops, such as berries and vegetables. It also owns farms growing permanent crops, such as almonds, apples, cherries, figs, lemons, olives, pistachios, and other orchards, as well as blueberry groves and vineyards. The LAND YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the LAND 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 LAND 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 LAND 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.
