Sonic Automotive is an automotive retailer. Co.'s segments are: Franchised Dealerships, which provides a range of services, including: sales of both new and used cars and light trucks; sales of replacement parts and performance of vehicle maintenance, manufacturer warranty repairs, and paint and collision repair services; and arrangement of extended warranties, service contracts, financing, insurance and other aftermarket products for its guests; and EchoPark, which sells used cars and light trucks and arranges F&I product sales for its guests in pre-owned vehicle specialty retail locations. Co.'s EchoPark business generally operates independently from its franchised dealerships business. The SAH stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the SAH stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2022 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 SAH annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
