3 terms

share buyback program financial

"ASML reports transactions under its current share buyback program."

A share buyback program is when a company uses its cash to repurchase its own outstanding shares from the market, reducing the number of shares available to investors. That matters because it can raise the value of remaining shares and signal management's confidence in the business—similar to a bakery buying back unsold loafs to make each remaining loaf represent a larger share of its oven’s output—though buybacks can also affect cash available for other uses.

weighted average price financial

"Date | Total repurchased shares | Weighted average price | Total repurchased value"

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.

market abuse regulation (nr. 596/2014) regulatory

"update ... is to be made public under the Market Abuse Regulation (Nr. 596/2014)."

A European law that sets rules to prevent insider trading and market manipulation by requiring timely disclosure, monitoring of suspicious activity, and transparency from company insiders and trading platforms. It matters to investors because it acts like a referee for financial markets—making it harder for a few people to rig prices, protecting ordinary investors’ trust, and helping ensure prices reflect genuine supply and demand rather than secret or unfair advantages.
