omnichanneltechnical
A coordinated approach to selling and serving customers across all touchpoints—stores, websites, mobile apps, social media, and call centers—so the experience feels like one continuous conversation no matter where a customer interacts. For investors, omnichannel capability signals how well a company can attract and keep customers, turn interactions into sales, and use shared customer data to cut costs and boost revenue—making it a key driver of growth and competitive strength.
waptechnical
Weighted average price (WAP) is the average price of a security over a period where each trade is counted according to how many shares were traded, so larger trades pull the average more than tiny ones. Investors use it as a fair-value benchmark to judge trade execution and measure performance—think of it like calculating the average cost per pound when you bought different amounts of apples at different prices.
mlptechnical
A master limited partnership (MLP) is a publicly traded business structure that passes most profits directly to owners instead of keeping them inside the company, similar to owning a slice of a rental property that pays you regular rent. Investors care because MLPs typically pay higher, steady cash distributions and offer exposure to specific industries (often energy or natural resources), but they come with unique tax reporting and sensitivity to commodity prices and interest rates.
