long-term incentive financial

Long-term incentive is a form of pay awarded to executives and key employees that vests over several years and is tied to company performance, often paid in stock or stock-linked awards. It matters to investors because it shapes management’s motivation and risk-taking, can dilute existing shares, and affects future cash flow and company governance—think of it as a multi-year performance bonus that aligns leaders’ rewards with shareholder returns.
