NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORP director John C. Huffard Jr. received 168.4733 deferred stock units under the company’s Directors’ Deferred Fee Plan. The units were credited based on the common stock’s closing market value of $314.5900 per share and increase his deferred balance to 3,122.9010 units.

Deferred Stock Units financial

"Reports the number of deferred stock units credited to the reporting person's account in the Norfolk Southern Corporation Directors' Deferred Fee Plan"

Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.
