Akero Therapeutics is a clinical-stage company developing treatments for patients with serious metabolic diseases, including non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a disease without any approved therapies. NASH is a severe form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease characterized by inflammation and fibrosis in the liver that can progress to cirrhosis, liver failure, cancer and death. Co.'s primary product candidate, efruxifermin, is an analog of fibroblast growth factor 21, which is an endogenously expressed hormone that protects against cellular stress and regulates metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins throughout the body. The AKRO average annual return since 2019 is shown above.
The Average Annual Return on the AKRO average annual return since 2019 page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annualized return over the past ten years (or specified start date) for a given investment
(up to the end of prior trading session recorded). Arguably, choosing ten years for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand provides a sufficiently long window
to capture long-term trends.
Thus, researching Average Annual Returns is good practice for investors — whether AKRO average annual return since 2019 or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annualized 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 AKRO average annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
