Smith & Nephew is a medical technology company. Co. has a global franchise structure with three franchises: Orthopaedics, which includes a range of Hip and Knee Implants used to replace diseased, damaged or worn joints, robotics-assisted and digital enabling technologies, and services that empower surgeons, and Trauma and Extremities products used to stabilise severe fractures and correct hard tissue deformities; Sports Medicine and Ear, Nose and Throat, which provide products and instruments used to repair or remove soft tissue; and Advance Wound Management, which provides a set of products and services to meet clinical needs. The SNN YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the SNN 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 SNN 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 SNN 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.
