Key Terms

shelf registration, marketable securities

2 terms

shelf registration regulatory

"Separately, the company has formally withdrawn its previously filed $2 billion shelf registration statement"

Shelf registration is when a company gets permission ahead of time to sell new stocks or bonds over a period of time instead of all at once. It matters to investors because it lets a company raise money quickly when needed, but it can also change the value of existing shares if many new ones are sold.

marketable securities financial

"supported by a strong cash and marketable securities balance of $176.2 million"

Marketable securities are financial assets — such as publicly traded stocks, bonds, and short-term government bills — that a company can quickly sell for cash at a known price. Investors watch them because they show how much ready cash a company can access without selling core operations, like keeping money in a highly liquid savings account versus being tied up in a house, and they affect short-term risk, financial flexibility, and balance-sheet strength.
