Method. Close-to-close arithmetic on Yahoo Finance daily closes, bucketed by UTC calendar month, quarter and year — a period's return is its last close against the prior period's last close, the same arithmetic behind the desk's return cards on X. Open periods are marked * and move until the period closes. As of August 10, 2026; refreshed daily. Not investment advice.
