Morphic is a biopharmaceutical company. Co. is applying its proprietary insights into integrins to discover and develop a pipeline of oral small-molecule integrin therapeutics. Integrins are a target class with various approved injectable blockbuster drugs for the treatment of chronic diseases, including autoimmune, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, fibrosis and cancer. Co. is developing its pipeline, including its main product candidate, MORF-057, an a4ß7-specific integrin inhibitor affecting inflammation, into clinical development for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. Co. has also developed selective oral avß6-specific integrin inhibitors including MORF-720 and MORF-627. The MORF YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the MORF 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 MORF 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 MORF 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.
