Cassava Sciences, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on neuroscience. Co.'s science is based on stabilizing, but not removing, a critical protein in the Alzheimer's brain. Its scientific approach for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease seeks to simultaneously suppress both neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. It has two biopharmaceutical assets under development: Simufilam and SavaDx. Simufilam, its lead therapeutic product candidate, is an oral treatment for Alzheimer's disease dementia. Simufilam targets an altered form of a protein called filamin A (FLNA) in the Alzheimer's brain. The SAVA YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the SAVA 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 SAVA 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 SAVA 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.
