Co. delivers its products and services globally through three business segments: Research, which provides insights and advice across various functional areas of the enterprise through reports, briefings, proprietary tools, access to Co.'s research personnel, peer networking services and membership programs; Conferences, which provides business personnel across an organization the opportunity to learn, share and network; and Consulting, which helps chief information officers and other senior executives driving technology-related strategic initiatives move from insight to action. The IT stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the IT stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2021 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 IT annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
