4 terms
restricted stock units financial
"granted an award of restricted stock units covering 239,616 shares"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
performance stock units financial
"awards of performance stock units covering a target of 239,616 shares"
Performance stock units are a type of company award that grants employees shares of stock only if certain performance goals are met. They motivate employees to work toward specific company achievements, aligning their interests with those of shareholders. For investors, they can influence a company's future stock supply and reflect management’s confidence in reaching key targets.
adjusted EBITDA financial
"Teladoc’s adjusted EBITDA for 2026"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
compound annual revenue growth rate financial
"actual compound annual revenue growth rate during 2026-2028"
The compound annual revenue growth rate is the constant annual percentage that would take a company's revenue from a starting value to an ending value over a set number of years, assuming growth compounds each year. It smooths out year-to-year ups and downs to show the average pace at which sales have grown. Investors use it to compare how quickly companies are expanding sales over time, similar to comparing steady interest rates on accounts.
