dividend reinvestment financial
"Amount increased due to dividend reinvestment."
Dividend reinvestment is when the money earned from a company's profit sharing, called dividends, is automatically used to buy more shares of that company instead of being received as cash. This process helps investors grow their holdings over time without extra effort, much like using earned interest to buy more of a savings account. It encourages long-term investment growth by continuously increasing the amount of shares owned.
revocable joint trust financial
"Includes 33,166 shares held in a revocable joint trust."
Common Stock financial

It is the most common type of stock traded on markets and can provide income through dividends, as well as potential for value growth.
