Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc. is a natural health and wellness company, which markets and distributes nutritional and personal care products in more than 40 countries. Co. sells its products to a sales force of independent consultants who use the products themselves or resells them to consumers. Co. has four segments: Asia, Europe, North America, and Latin America and Other. Each of the geographic segments operates under the Natures Sunshine Products and Synergy WorldWide brands. The NATR YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the NATR 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 NATR 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 NATR 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.
