Northern Oil and Gas is an energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas properties, primarily in the Williston Basin, the Appalachian Basin and the Permian Basin. Co. primarily engage in oil and natural gas exploration and production by participating on a proportionate basis alongside third-party interests in wells drilled and completed in spacing units that include Co.'s acreage. In addition, Co. acquires wellbore-only working interests in wells in which Co. does not hold the leasehold interests from third parties unable or unwilling to participate in particular well proposals. The NOG YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the NOG 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 NOG 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 NOG 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.
