Context Restricted stock units are a common form of equity compensation: they are promises to deliver shares in the future (usually at vesting) rather than immediate stock purchases or sales. Awards like this reflect company compensation practices rather than an immediate insider buy/sell signal; they become more market-relevant when and if the RSUs vest and the shares are sold.
