6 terms
record date financial
"set December 16, 2026 as the record date for common stock shareholders"
The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
ex-dividend date financial
"the ex-dividend date for the common shares shall be December 10, 2026"
The ex-dividend date is the date when a stock starts trading without the value of its next dividend payment included. If you buy the stock on or after this date, you won't receive that upcoming dividend; only those who owned the stock before this date are entitled to it. It matters to investors because it determines who is eligible to receive the dividend and can influence the stock’s price around that time.
capital appropriations financial
"the Board approved capital appropriations of approximately US$29,442.50 million"
joint venture financial
"Approved the formation of a new joint venture with Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation"
A joint venture is when two or more companies team up to work on a specific project or business idea, sharing both the risks and the rewards. It’s like friends starting a lemonade stand together—each contributes resources and they split the profits, making it easier to succeed than going alone.
