5 terms
open-market sale financial
"transaction_action": "open-market sale""
An open-market sale is when a shareholder sells existing shares directly on a public exchange to any willing buyer, rather than through a private deal. Think of it like putting goods on a busy market stall where price is set by supply and demand; for investors it matters because such sales increase available supply, can put short-term downward pressure on the stock price, and signal changes in liquidity or investor confidence.
Stock Option (Right to Buy) financial
"security_title": "Stock Option (Right to Buy)""
weighted average price financial
"Represents the weighted average price of multiple transactions ranging"
Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.
special cash dividend financial
"adjusted from the grant date exercise price due to the special cash dividend"
A special cash dividend is a one-time, extra cash payment a company gives to its shareholders in addition to its regular dividends, like a bonus check sent out when a business has more cash than usual. It matters to investors because it delivers immediate cash value, can signal that the company has strong short-term cash or limited opportunities to reinvest, and typically reduces the company’s cash reserves and may affect the stock price and tax treatment for recipients.
