About Total Return Price

Total return price is a theoretical price that helps investors look at their returns over time, accounting for both price appreciation and dividends received rather than price alone. It is the best way to calculate the actual returns on a stock over a period of time.

YCharts' total return price assumes that all dividends were reinvested and that no taxes were collected on dividend payments. This follows Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP) methodology.

When calculating the return on an investment, an investor should look both at the changes in the value of the stock price as well as the gains from dividend payments. For example, if you buy a stock for $10, its price appreciates to $15 and it pays a $1 dividend, and you sell it, you have made $5 from the change in price and $1 from dividends. This $6 increase is your total gain, and your total return is 60%.

The total return price helps you to look backward to determine an equivalent price that you would have paid to get the same returns from a stock that paid no dividends (also adjusted for splits). Let's look at the previous example again.

Assumptions:
Price paid (1/1/01): $10.00
Closing price (12/30/01): $15.00
Dividend Paid (12/31/01): $1.00
Closing Price (12/31/01): $15.00

Your total returns for the year: $6.00 or 60%

Calculating Total Return Price:

12/31/01:
Actual Price: $15.00
Total Return Price: $15.00
The most recent total return price is always equal to the current price.

12/30/01:
Actual Price: $15.00
Total Return Price: $14.00 = $15.00 x (1-$1/$15.00)
The $1 dividend was 1/15 of the value of the stock, so if you could have received the dividend immediately after buying the stock on 12/30/01, you could have paid $14 for the stock and had a stock worth $15 because of the dividend that was paid.

1/1/01:
Actual Price: $10.00
Total Return Price: $9.33 = $10 x (1-$1/$15.00)
This is exactly like the previous problem. We received 1/15th of the stock's value on 12/30/01, so looking back we need to remove this value from the historical total returns price.

$PEGA is the most manipulated stock I&#39;ve seen in quite a while now. Bids and Asks in level 2 are all manipulated to push the price higher.

$PEGA Technically, earnings beat upward momentum is over. Fundamentally, very overpriced now. Also, has huge short interest.

$PEGA Huh? Is $PEGA being manipulated? Small signs during the day, but now fishy buy orders after close.. and fishy limit sells behavior.
about 90 days ago by eragmus
$PEGA Epic battle between longs and shorts! Huge block sell order of 14,200 shares was placed at the close and it closed below 36 support.

$PEGA Broke 36 again, going down... potentially an amazing short.
about 90 days ago by eragmus
$PEGA There isn&#39;t enough volume to buy OR sell. Most of the traders were in it for the gap up and spike, but have now left.
about 90 days ago by eragmus
$PEGA I admire the courage of those willing to buy at 36.. this is absolutely determined to go down, the repeated attempts are proof.
about 90 days ago by eragmus
$PEGA Back again to 36...
about 90 days ago by eragmus
$PEGA That was an oddly quick bounce. But 36 has now been broken and buyers have evaporated again.. so it will be easier to break 36 again.

$PEGA they won&#39;t let it go down... i got triggered volume is spiking up.. heavy buying here.. one more wave to go for short covering
