open-market sale financial

"transaction_action: "open-market sale" for reported common stock trades"

An open-market sale is when a shareholder sells existing shares directly on a public exchange to any willing buyer, rather than through a private deal. Think of it like putting goods on a busy market stall where price is set by supply and demand; for investors it matters because such sales increase available supply, can put short-term downward pressure on the stock price, and signal changes in liquidity or investor confidence.

non-derivative financial

"transaction_type is listed as "non-derivative" for both common stock entries"

direct ownership financial

"ownership_type is coded as "direct" with ownership_code "D""
