volume weighted average price financial
"Volume weighted average price paid per share (pence)"
The volume weighted average price (VWAP) is a way to measure the average price of a security, such as a stock, over a specific period, taking into account how many units were traded at each price. It’s similar to calculating the average cost of items bought when some are more frequently purchased than others. Investors use VWAP to assess whether a security is being bought or sold at a fair price during trading.
Market Abuse Regulation regulatory
"In accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (the Market Abuse Regulation)"
Market abuse regulation consists of laws and rules designed to prevent dishonest or manipulative practices in financial markets. It aims to ensure fair and transparent trading, so investors can trust that markets operate honestly, much like rules that keep a game fair. By reducing unfair advantages, it helps protect investor confidence and promotes healthy, efficient markets.
Regulatory News Service regulatory
"Regulatory News Service Announcement, 18 May 2026 re: Transaction in Own Shares"
A regulatory news service is an official channel where companies publish required disclosures and material information so regulators, investors and the public receive the same announcements at the same time. Think of it as a public bulletin board that ensures important facts—like earnings, leadership changes, or regulatory filings—are shared promptly and fairly; investors use these notices to reassess value, risk and trading decisions.
