dividend equivalent units financial
"Represents dividend equivalent units accrued on unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs")."
Dividend equivalent units are bookkeeping credits that mirror cash dividends paid on actual shares, granted to holders of stock-based awards such as restricted stock units or deferred compensation. They matter to investors because they increase a company’s reported employee compensation cost and can lead to issuance of more shares or cash payouts over time, similar to extra pay linked to ownership that affects shareholder dilution and corporate cash flow.
restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"Includes unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs") and amounts accrued for dividend equivalent units on such RSUs."
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
grant, award, or other acquisition financial
"Transaction code description indicates a Grant, award, or other acquisition."
