Unifi manufactures and sells recycled and synthetic products, made from polyester and nylon, primarily to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce yarn and/or fabric for the apparel, hosiery, home furnishings, automotive, industrial, medical, and other end-use markets. Polyester products include partially oriented yarn and textured, solution and package dyed, twisted, beamed, and draw wound yarns. Recycled solutions, made from both pre-consumer and post-consumer waste, include plastic bottle flake, polyester polymer beads, and staple fiber. Nylon products include virgin or recycled textured, solution dyed, and spandex covered yarns. The UFI YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the UFI 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 UFI 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 UFI 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.
