Stoke Therapeutics, Inc. is a biotechnology company dedicated to addressing the underlying cause of severe diseases by upregulating protein expression with ribonucleic acid (RNA)-based medicines. Co., through its proprietary Targeted Augmentation of Nuclear Gene Output (TANGO) approach, is engaged in developing antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to selectively restore protein levels. Its first compound, STK-001, is in clinical testing for the treatment of Dravet syndrome, a severe and progressive genetic epilepsy. TANGO aims to restore missing proteins by increasing or stoking protein output from healthy genes, thus compensating for the non-functioning copy of the gene. The STOK YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the STOK 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 STOK 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 STOK 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.
