Smith-Midland Corporation, through its six subsidiaries, invents, develops, manufactures, markets, leases, licenses, sells, and installs precast concrete products for the construction, highway, utilities, and farming industries. Its products include SlenderWall (lightweight, energy-efficient wall panels), J-J Hooks Highway Safety Barrier (positive-connected barriers), SoftSound (sound-absorptive finishes), Sierra Wall (roadside sound barriers), and Easi-Set and Easi-Span (transportable concrete buildings). Customers include general contractors and transportation authorities in the Mid-Atlantic, Northeastern, Midwestern, and Southeastern U.S. regions. The SMID YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the SMID 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 SMID 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 SMID 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.
