weighted average price financial

"A total of 1,000 shares were sold at a weighted average price of $135.0196"

Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.

"The filing’s Rule 10b5-1 checkbox is not marked for this transaction"

This rule provides a way for insiders to plan trades transparently, giving investors confidence that these transactions are not based on hidden information.
