Phantom shares financial
"Phantom shares are granted pursuant to the Petrobras Performance Award Program."
Phantom shares are a form of employee or executive compensation that mimics the economic value of owning company stock without actually issuing real shares; holders receive cash or equivalent payments tied to the company’s share price or dividends. Think of it like a receipt that pays out if the stock rises — it aligns managers’ interests with shareholders but does not dilute ownership, while creating a future cash obligation that investors should watch as it can affect company cash flow and valuation.
Petrobras Performance Award Program financial
"Phantom shares are granted pursuant to the Petrobras Performance Award Program."
interest on equity financial
"Additional phantom shares are credited proportionally upon the payment of dividends or interest on equity by the company."
A payment a company makes to its shareholders that compensates them for the capital they provided, similar to how a lender receives interest on a loan. In some accounting or tax systems this payment is treated like interest rather than a regular dividend, which can change a company’s reported profit, cash flow and the taxable income of investors; that treatment affects shareholder returns and valuation.
weighted average financial
"Weighted average of the last 20 trading sessions of Petrobras common shares, resulting in 52.07 BRL."
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.
