weighted average purchase price financial

"The price reported reflects the weighted average purchase price."

The weighted average purchase price is the average cost per share you paid across multiple buys, calculated so larger purchases count more than smaller ones. Imagine buying apples at different prices: the overall price you effectively paid depends on how many apples you bought at each price. Investors use it to measure true cost basis, calculate gains or losses, decide when to sell, and manage taxes and portfolio performance.

open market or private transaction financial

"Transaction code description: Sale in open market or private transaction"
