Context

RSUs are a form of deferred equity compensation that convert to company shares according to a vesting schedule and are often used to compensate directors and employees. They do not represent an immediate cash purchase or sale and are common routine compensation; they should not be interpreted on their own as a bullish or bearish indicator.
