Vertex Energy is an environmental services company that recycles industrial waste streams and off-specification commercial chemical products. Co. has three segments: Black Oil, which collects and purchases used motor oil directly from third-party generators, aggregates used motor oil, and sells used motor oil to its customers for use as a feedstock or replacement fuel for industrial burners; Refining and Marketing, which aggregates and manages the re-refinement of used motor oil and other petroleum by-products and sells the re-refined products to end customers; and Recovery, which includes a generator solutions company for the proper recovery and management of hydrocarbon streams. The VTNR stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the VTNR stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2014 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 VTNR annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
