Employee Stock Purchase Plan financial
"Shares acquired through the Belden Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan")."
An employee stock purchase plan is a company program that lets workers buy shares through small payroll deductions, often at a discount to the market price and after a set offering period. Think of it like a workplace savings plan that turns into ownership: it encourages employees to share in the company’s success and can create predictable buying or selling of stock that investors watch because it affects supply, demand and employee incentives.
offering period financial
"the beginning of the offering period (January 1, 2026) or (ii) the price at the end of the offering period (June 30, 2026)."
payroll deductions financial
"Employees elect their level of participation and the purchases are funded via payroll deductions through the offering period."
Payroll deductions are amounts automatically taken out of an employee’s paycheck before they receive it. These can include taxes, retirement contributions, or insurance premiums. For investors, payroll deductions indicate how much money individuals set aside for savings or benefits, affecting their disposable income and overall financial stability.
401(k) Plan financial
"total_shares_following_transaction": "1296.1648", "nature_of_ownership": "By 401(k) Plan""
A 401(k) plan is a workplace retirement account that lets employees set aside part of their pay into a tax-advantaged savings pot, often with employers adding matching contributions — like a workplace piggy bank for future income. It matters to investors because the amount people save and how employers fund these plans influence consumer spending, corporate payroll costs and the flow of money into financial markets, which can affect stock prices and company valuations.
Common Stock financial
""security_title": "Common Stock""
Common stock represents ownership shares in a company, giving investors a stake in its success and a say in important decisions through voting rights. It is the most common type of stock traded on markets and can provide income through dividends, as well as potential for value growth. For investors, holding common stock means sharing in the company’s profits and risks.
