Werner Enterprises is a transportation and logistics company engaged primarily in transporting truckload shipments of general commodities in both interstate and intrastate commerce. Co. also provides logistics services through its Werner Logistics segment. Co. has two reportable segments: Truckload Transportation Services, which provides truckload services dedicated to a specific customer, generally for a retail distribution center or manufacturing facility and includes the medium-to-long-haul van fleet, the expedited fleet, the regional short-haul fleet and the Temperature Controlled fleet; and Werner Logistics, which is a non-asset-based transportation and logistics provider. The WERN YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the WERN 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 WERN 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 WERN 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.
