"Reflects performance share units that will settle on August 15, 2026."
Performance share units are a type of company stock award given to employees that depend on the company meeting specific goals or targets. If these goals are achieved, the employee receives shares or the value of shares; if not, they may receive little or no compensation. This aligns employees’ interests with the company's success and encourages performance that benefits investors.
Common Shares financial
"security_title": "Common Shares""
Common shares are the basic units of ownership in a company that give holders a claim on profits and a right to vote on key matters, like electing the board. Think of them as membership cards in a club: they let you share in successes and losses, but in a bankruptcy or liquidation they are paid after creditors and preferred shareholders, so their value can swing more and matters for assessing risk and potential return.
