open-market sale financial
"transaction_action: "open-market sale""
An open-market sale is when a shareholder sells existing shares directly on a public exchange to any willing buyer, rather than through a private deal. Think of it like putting goods on a busy market stall where price is set by supply and demand; for investors it matters because such sales increase available supply, can put short-term downward pressure on the stock price, and signal changes in liquidity or investor confidence.
weighted average price financial
"The price reported above reflects the weighted average price."
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.
401(k) financial
"Reflects shares acquired through 401(k) contributions since March 31, 2026."
A 401(k) is a type of retirement savings plan offered by employers that allows workers to set aside a portion of their paycheck before taxes are taken out. The money saved in a 401(k) can grow over time through investments, helping individuals build funds for their future retirement. It matters to investors because it provides a tax-advantaged way to save and invest for long-term financial security.
