Common Stock financial

"He received 1,602 shares of Duke Energy common stock, with the filing showing a value of $124.87 per share."

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

"The transaction code “A” with description “Grant, award, or other acquisition” indicates the shares were received as compensation."

Form 4 regulatory

"Robert M. Davis reported receiving a grant of 1,602 shares of Duke Energy common stock in this Form 4."

Form 4 is a official document that company insiders, such as executives or major shareholders, file with regulators whenever they buy or sell company shares. It provides transparency about how those with inside knowledge are trading, helping investors see if insiders are confident in the company's prospects or may be selling for personal reasons. This information can influence investor decisions by revealing insiders' perspectives on the company's value.

beneficially owned financial

"This total share count is listed as the amount beneficially owned following the acquisition transaction."

Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
