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.

Grant, award, or other acquisition financial

"transaction_code_description: "Grant, award, or other acquisition""

common stock units financial

"Represents common stock units granted by the Issuer"

A common stock unit is a tradable ownership interest that represents one or more ordinary shares in a company, giving the holder a stake in profits, a claim on assets after creditors, and usually voting rights on corporate matters. For investors it matters because these units determine how much of the company you own, how much influence you have, and how returns or losses are shared—think of owning slices of a pie that can be increased or diluted by the company’s actions.
