discretionary trading contract technical
"based on a discretionary trading contract"
treasury stock financial
"excluding treasury stock"
Treasury stock is shares that a company has bought back from the public and kept in its own control rather than retiring them. Think of it like a company holding its own tickets in a drawer: those shares no longer vote or receive dividends while held, but the company can reissue or retire them later; this reduces the number of shares available to outside investors and can boost per‑share earnings and influence ownership and stock price.
open market purchase financial
"Expected open market purchase through the Tokyo Stock Exchange"
An open market purchase is when a company buys its own shares on public stock exchanges the same way any investor would, rather than through a private deal. Investors care because these purchases reduce the number of shares available, can boost earnings per share and share price, signal that management thinks the stock is undervalued, and use company cash that might otherwise go to reinvestment or dividends — like a business quietly buying back its own tickets at the box office.
