Amedisys is a healthcare services company focused on providing care in the home. Co.'s operations involve servicing patients across the United States through its operating divisions: home health, hospice and personal care. Co.'s Home Health segment provides healthcare to help its patients recover from surgery or illness, live with chronic diseases, and prevent avoidable hospital readmissions. Hospice care is designed to provide comfort and support for those who are dealing with a terminal illness such as heart disease, pulmonary disease, Alzheimer's or cancer. Personal care provides assistance with the activities of daily living. The AMED stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the AMED stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2019 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the AMED annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
