National CineMedia is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is engaged in the sale of advertising to national, regional and local businesses in its Noovie On-Screen, its cinema advertising and entertainment show seen on movie screens across the U.S., on the Lobby Entertainment Network, a series of screens located in movie theater lobbies, as well as other forms of advertising and promotions in theater lobbies. Co. also sells digital online and mobile advertising through its Noovie Audience Accelerator, across its suite of Noovie digital properties such as its Noovie Trivia, on third-party internet sites, as well as well as a variety of complementary out of home venues. The NCMI YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the NCMI 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 NCMI 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 NCMI 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.
