Restricted Stock Units financial

"Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
