Hecla Mining Company Stock Plan for Nonemployee Directors financial
"Allocation of shares in trust to the account of Dean Gehring in the Hecla Mining Company Stock Plan for Nonemployee Directors."
average closing price financial
"This price is the average closing price for Hecla's common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the prior calendar year (2025)."
The average closing price is the arithmetic mean of a security’s end-of-day prices over a chosen period, found by adding each day’s closing price and dividing by the number of days. It smooths out daily ups and downs to show a typical market value—like averaging daily temperatures to understand a month’s climate—and helps investors spot trends, judge whether a stock is generally rising or falling, and make clearer buy or sell decisions.
trust financial
"Allocation of shares in trust to the account of Dean Gehring in the Hecla Mining Company Stock Plan for Nonemployee Directors."
A trust is a legal setup in which one party (the trustee) holds and manages assets—like cash, stocks or property—on behalf of other people (beneficiaries) according to instructions from the person who created it (the grantor). Think of it as a locked box with a keyholder who must follow written rules; for investors it matters because trusts influence who controls and benefits from assets, affect taxes and succession, and can change how quickly or transparently shares are bought, sold or voted.
indirect ownership financial
