Sturm, Ruger & Company is principally engaged in the design, manufacture, and sale of firearms to domestic customers. Co. has two reportable operating segments: firearms and castings. The firearms segment manufactures and sells rifles, pistols, and revolvers. Co.'s firearms are available in several models based upon caliber, finish, barrel length, and other features. The castings segment manufactures and sells investment castings made from steel alloys and metal injection molding (MIM) parts for internal use in the firearms segment. The castings and MIM parts are sold to outside customers, either directly or through manufacturers' representatives. The RGR YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the RGR 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 RGR 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 RGR 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.
