Non-Qualified Stock Option financial
"security_title: Non-Qualified Stock Option (Right to Buy)"
A non-qualified stock option (NSO) is a contract that lets an employee or service provider buy company shares at a fixed price for a set period, like a voucher to purchase stock later at today’s price. It matters to investors because exercising NSOs creates ordinary income for the holder and can increase share count, affecting a company’s earnings and ownership mix; think of it as a future sale that can dilute existing shareholders and has immediate tax consequences for the recipient.
weighted-average sale price financial
"The price reported in Column 4 reflects the weighted-average sale price."
401(k) Plan financial
"acquired 185 shares of Chevron common stock under the Chevron Employee Savings Investment Plan, a 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.
Employee Savings Investment Plan financial
"acquired 185 shares of Chevron common stock under the Chevron Employee Savings Investment Plan, a 401(k) Plan."
