open-market purchase financial
"transaction_action: open-market purchase"
An open-market purchase is when an investor or a company buys shares on a public stock exchange at the going market price, rather than through a private deal. It matters to investors because these purchases change how many shares are available, can push the stock price up or signal confidence from large buyers, and often affect per-share metrics like earnings—think of it like someone buying lots of apples off a grocery shelf, reducing supply and potentially raising the price.
weighted average purchase price financial
"The price reported above reflects the weighted average purchase price."
The weighted average purchase price is the average cost per share you paid across multiple buys, calculated so larger purchases count more than smaller ones. Imagine buying apples at different prices: the overall price you effectively paid depends on how many apples you bought at each price. Investors use it to measure true cost basis, calculate gains or losses, decide when to sell, and manage taxes and portfolio performance.
