 Price and Volume Graph (Interactive)

Daily ($) Price

This graph shows how well the company’s stock has performed over different trailing time periods (one day, five days, one month, three months, six months, year to date, one year, three years, five years, 10 years, and all available time periods). The graph frequencies (five minute, 15 minute, daily, and weekly) vary depending on the graph time period. These will be listed in the upper left corner of the graph. The vertical line for each frequency on the graph represents the high, low, open, and close of the stock. Stock prices are adjusted for all splits and dividends.

The price graph can also be customized by adding indexes, stock tickers, and indicators. The indicators are splits, earnings, and dividends.

Tip: You can two additional tickers to the graph at a time - just type both ticker symbols in the Compare to Tickers box at once.

 Total Returns

The annual total returns of the stock (capital appreciation plus dividends) for each of the five past calendar years as well as the year-to-date period (YTD). For comparison, we also show how the stock’s returns did against those of the industry and the S&P 500.

Trailing Total Returns Represents shareholders' gains from a stock over a given period of time. Total return includes both capital gains and losses (the increase or decrease in the stock price) and income (in the form of dividend payments). It is calculated by taking the change in the stock's price, assuming the reinvestment of all dividends, then dividing by the initial stock price, and expressing the result as a percentage. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualized.
