restricted stock units financial

"Includes 644,792 shares underlying unvested restricted stock units."

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

fractional share financial

"The number of shares reported excludes a fractional share (0.433 of a share)"

A fractional share is a portion of a single stock that is worth less than one full share, like owning a slice of a pizza instead of the whole pie. It lets investors buy and hold part of expensive stocks or spread small amounts of money across many companies, which helps with diversification and regular investing; dividends and price changes affect fractional shares proportionally, though some rights and trading rules can vary by provider.
