"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.
