PRA Health Sciences is a contract research organization engaged in providing outsourced clinical development and data solution services to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Co. has two reportable segments: Clinical Research, which performs a range of services across the spectrum of clinical development programs, from the filing of investigational new drug applications and similar regulatory applications to conducting all phases of clinical trials; and Data Solutions, which provides data, analytics, technology, and consulting solutions to the life sciences market including market intelligence services, consulting and services, and apps and technology. The PRAH stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the PRAH stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2015 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 PRAH annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
