4 terms

open-market sale financial

"transaction_action": "open-market sale""

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.

weighted average financial

"The price reported is a weighted average."

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.

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.
