6 terms
Annual Meeting of Stockholders financial
"On May 6, 2026, IDEX Corporation held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders"
Class I directors financial
"The election of four Class I directors to serve a three-year term"
Class I directors are the subset of a company’s board whose terms expire at a specific annual meeting under a staggered election system that divides directors into multiple groups with different re-election years. For investors this matters because staggered classes slow how quickly shareholders can replace the board, affecting takeover risk, governance change and the pace of corporate decisions — like rotating only part of a team instead of swapping everyone at once.
advisory basis financial
"A proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation"
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2026"
An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.
broker non-votes financial
"Broker Non-Votes 1,305,842"
Broker non-votes occur when a brokerage firm is unable to vote on a shareholder’s behalf during a company election or decision because the shareholder has not given specific voting instructions, and the broker is not allowed or chooses not to vote on certain matters. They are important because they can affect the outcome of votes, especially when the results are close, by effectively reducing the total number of votes cast.
Inline XBRL technical
"the cover page XBRL tags are embedded within the Inline XBRL document"
Inline XBRL is a file format for financial filings that embeds machine-readable data tags directly inside the human-readable report, so the same document can be read by people and parsed by software. For investors it makes extracting, comparing and verifying financial numbers faster and more reliable—like a grocery list where each item also has a barcode—reducing manual errors and speeding up analysis.
