Gladstone Land is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is an externally-managed, agricultural real estate investment trust that is engaged in the business of owning and leasing farmland. Co.'s farmland is concentrated in locations where farmers are able to grow either fresh produce annual row crops, which are typically planted and harvested annually, or certain permanent crops. To a much lesser extent, Co. also owns farms that grow certain commodity crops. In addition, Co. owns several farm-related facilities that are necessary to the farming operations on the underlying farmland, such as cooling facilities, packinghouses, processing facilities, and various storage facilities. The LAND stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the LAND stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2023 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 LAND annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
