Westport Fuel Systems is a global organization for the engineering, manufacturing, and supply of alternative fuel systems and components for transportation applications. Co. operates its business through several segments, including: Original Equipment Manufacturer, in which Co. engineers, designs, and builds liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) components and systems including pressure regulators, fuel injectors, electronic control units, valves, filters and complete bi-fuel, mono-fuel and dual-fuel LPG and CNG systems; and CWI Joint Venture, which serves the medium and heavy-duty on highway engine markets through its joint venture, Cummins Westport Inc. The WPRT YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the WPRT 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 WPRT 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 WPRT 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.
