Key Terms

3 terms

open-market purchase financial

"The transaction was an open-market purchase at a price of $38.00 per share."

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

"Director Phillip Widman bought 5,000 shares of 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.

direct ownership financial

"Following this buy, he directly owns 45,208 shares of the company’s common stock."
