weighted average sale price financial

"The price reported above reflects the weighted average sale price."

dividend reinvestment financial

"Includes shares accrued due to dividend reinvestment in the Johnson & Johnson Stock Fund..."

Dividend reinvestment is when the money earned from a company's profit sharing, called dividends, is automatically used to buy more shares of that company instead of being received as cash. This process helps investors grow their holdings over time without extra effort, much like using earned interest to buy more of a savings account. It encourages long-term investment growth by continuously increasing the amount of shares owned.

Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan financial

"Includes shares accrued due to dividend reinvestment in the Johnson & Johnson Stock Fund under the Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan..."

401k financial

"Common Stock held indirectly, nature of ownership described as "By 401k"."

An employer-sponsored retirement savings plan in the United States that lets workers set aside part of their paycheck into investments with tax advantages; some plans also include employer matching contributions, which is like free money added to your savings. It matters to investors because 401(k) balances represent a large pool of household retirement assets that influence personal financial security, investor behavior, and long-term demand for stocks and bonds.
