QuinStreet provides performance marketplaces and technologies for the financial services and home services industries. Co.'s approach to proprietary performance marketing technologies allows clients to engage digital media or traffic from a range of device types (for example, mobile, desktop, tablet), in various formats or types of media (for example, search engines, large and small media properties or websites, email), and in a range of cost-per-action forms. These forms of contact are the primary products Co. sells to its clients, and include qualified clicks, leads, calls, applications and customers. The QNST YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the QNST 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 QNST 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 QNST 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.
