Performance-Based Stock Units financial
"Each performance-based restricted stock unit ("PSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A common stock."
Performance-based stock units are company promises to deliver shares or cash to employees or executives only if the business hits specific financial or operational goals over a set period. Like a bonus that only pays out when certain milestones are reached, they link pay to company performance and matter to investors because they can dilute the share count, affect reported earnings when they vest, and signal how management is being incentivized.
