Restricted Share Unit financial

"security_title: "Restricted Share Unit""

A restricted share unit (RSU) is a promise by a company to give an employee a set number of company shares at a future date, typically after meeting time or performance conditions. For investors, RSUs matter because when they convert into actual shares they increase the number of shares outstanding (like unlocking more tickets in a game), which can dilute existing holders, and they align employee incentives with company performance, influencing behavior and long-term value.
