Key Terms
share repurchase authorizationfinancial
A share repurchase authorization is a company's official approval to buy back its own shares from the market. This signals that the company believes its stock is a good investment and can help increase the value of remaining shares by reducing how many are available. For investors, it often suggests confidence from the company and can influence the stock’s price.
Class A common sharesfinancial
A Class A common share is a specific type of ordinary company share that represents an ownership stake and usually carries particular voting rights or payout priorities compared with other share classes. For investors it matters because those differences affect how much influence you have over company decisions, how dividends or liquidation proceeds might be distributed, and how easily the shares trade — like choosing between car models where one has extra features (more control) and another focuses on price or availability (liquidity).
block tradesfinancial
A block trade is a single, large buy or sell of shares or bonds arranged privately between big traders rather than piecemeal on the public market. Think of it like buying a whole shipment at once instead of many small shopping trips; it lets large holders move big positions with less immediate disruption but can signal strong buying or selling pressure and cause price swings once the trade is known, so investors watch block trades for clues about market sentiment and liquidity.
privately negotiated transactionsfinancial
Privately negotiated transactions are deals made directly between parties without involving a public marketplace or open auction. They are like private sales between two individuals rather than items sold at a busy marketplace open to everyone. For investors, these transactions can offer more tailored terms and privacy, but they may also carry different risks and less transparency compared to public exchanges.
non-discretionary trading plantechnical
A non-discretionary trading plan is a set of pre-written instructions that tell a broker exactly when and how much of a stock to buy or sell, with no judgment call allowed at execution time. For investors, it matters because it creates predictable, rule-bound trading that can reduce accusations of insider trading and signal scheduled liquidity or ownership changes; think of it like programming a thermostat to switch on at preset temperatures rather than letting someone decide in the moment.
