Schrodinger is engaged in developing a physics-based software platform that enables discovery of molecules for drug development and materials applications. Co.'s software platform is used by biopharmaceutical and industrial companies, academic institutions, and government laboratories around the world. Co. has two segments: software, which is focused on selling its software to transform drug discovery across the life sciences industry, as well as to customers in materials science industries; and drug discovery, which is focused on various portfolio of preclinical and clinical programs, internally and through collaborations, that have developed to various stages of discovery and development. The SDGR YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the SDGR 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 SDGR 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 SDGR 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.
