Key Terms

interest on capital, ex-rights

2 terms

interest on capital financial

"approved, at the meeting held on this date, the payment of interest on capital to stockholders"

Interest on capital is the cost a business pays for using money — either money it borrowed or funds provided by owners — and functions like rent paid for that capital. It matters to investors because higher interest payments reduce profits and cash available for dividends or growth, while lower interest costs leave more profit and improve company value; think of it as the price of fueling a company’s operations.

ex-rights financial

"with their shares traded "ex-rights" starting March 20, 2026"

A stock trading "ex-rights" means new buyers of the share no longer receive the extra subscription rights that let holders buy newly issued shares at a special price; only holders on the record before that ex-rights date keep those rights. This matters to investors because the share price typically adjusts to reflect the loss of that entitlement, so knowing whether a trade is ex-rights determines who gets the opportunity to buy new shares and how the purchase compares in value.
