Market Stock Units financial

"Each stock unit converts upon vesting into one share of common stock."

market-leveraged stock units financial

"market-leveraged stock units granted on August 28, 2023"

total stockholder return financial

"based on our total stockholder return during the performance periods"

Total stockholder return is the percentage gain or loss an investor would have experienced over a period from both changes in a stock’s price and any cash payouts such as dividends, assuming those payouts are reinvested in the stock. It matters because it shows the complete financial outcome of owning a share — like measuring both a house’s change in sale value and the rent you collected — and lets investors fairly compare performance across companies and time.
