Vertex Energy is an environmental services company that recycles industrial waste streams and off-specification commercial chemical products. Co. operates in three segments: Black Oil, which collects and purchases used motor oil directly from third-party generators, aggregates used motor oil from a network of local and regional collectors, and sells used motor oil to its customers; Refining and Marketing, which aggregates and manages the re-refinement of used motor oil and other petroleum by-products and sells the re-refined products to end customers; and Recovery, which includes a generator solutions company for the proper recovery and management of hydrocarbon streams. The VTNR YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the VTNR 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 VTNR 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 VTNR 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.
