open-market purchase financial
"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.
Common Stock financial
"security_title: Common Stock"
Common stock represents ownership shares in a company, giving investors a stake in its success and a say in important decisions through voting rights. It is the most common type of stock traded on markets and can provide income through dividends, as well as potential for value growth. For investors, holding common stock means sharing in the company’s profits and risks.
weighted average financial
"Represents the weighted average of a range of purchase prices"
A weighted average is a way of calculating an overall number when some items matter more than others by giving each item a different level of importance, or weight. Investors use weighted averages to combine figures like prices, returns or earnings so the result reflects the size or significance of each part — like grading a class where a final exam counts more than a quiz, producing a score that better represents true performance.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan financial
"Includes 134 shares acquired under the Universal Display Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan"
An employee stock purchase plan is a company program that lets workers buy shares through small payroll deductions, often at a discount to the market price and after a set offering period. Think of it like a workplace savings plan that turns into ownership: it encourages employees to share in the company’s success and can create predictable buying or selling of stock that investors watch because it affects supply, demand and employee incentives.
