TripAdvisor operates a travel guidance platform that connects a global audience of travelers with travel partners through content, price comparison tools, and online reservation and related services for destinations, accommodations, travel activities and experiences, and restaurants. In addition to the Tripadvisor brand, Co. owns and operates a portfolio of travel media brands and businesses, operating under various websites. Co.'s Rentals offering provides information and services that allow travelers to research and book vacation and short-term rental properties, including full homes, condominiums, villas, beach properties, cabins and cottages. The Tripadvisor YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the Tripadvisor 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 Tripadvisor 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 TRIP 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.
