Stock Appreciation Rights financial
"Stock Appreciation Rights (SAR) granted under the Moog Inc. 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan."
Stock appreciation rights (SARs) are a form of employee compensation that give the holder the right to receive the increase in a company's stock price over a set baseline, paid in cash or shares, without having to buy the stock. For investors, SARs matter because they can create future cash outflows or share dilution and signal how a company rewards and motivates executives — similar to giving a bonus tied directly to how well the company’s stock performs.
Restricted Stock Units financial
"Restricted Stock Units (RSU) granted under the Moog Inc. 2025 Long Term Incentive Plan."
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.
Moog Inc. Retirement Savings Plan financial
"Reflects equivalent shares held in Moog Inc. Retirement Savings Plan as of the most recent report to participants."
Long Term Incentive Plan financial
"SAR granted under the Moog Inc. 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan."
A long term incentive plan is a company program that awards executives and key employees bonuses—often in stock, options, or cash—only if the business meets multi-year performance goals. It links management pay to company results—like tying a coach’s bonus to a team’s multi-season record—so investors monitor it for how leaders are motivated, potential share dilution, and signals about the company’s long-term priorities.
FMV financial
"difference between the FMV on the date of exercise ($345.26) and the exercise price ($71.648)."
Fair market value (FMV) is the price a willing buyer and a willing seller would agree on for an asset when neither is under pressure and both have full information. For investors, FMV is a baseline for judging whether a stock, bond, property or business is priced reasonably—like checking if a used car’s listed price matches what similar cars actually sell for—so it helps decide whether to buy, sell or hold.
