Stock Compensation

Pro

Returns plan-level share-based compensation from the equity footnote: the award roll-forward (granted / vested / forfeited / nonvested with weighted-average grant-date fair values), SBC expense per award type, unrecognized cost, the option book (outstanding / exercisable / exercise prices), plan share reserves, and Black-Scholes assumptions. This complements the per-insider Form 3/4/5 endpoints, this is the plan, those are the people.

Two sections per period:

  • awards: one entry per award type or plan the filer dimensioned (RSUs, PSUs, options, ESPP, named plans), sorted by expense.
  • planTotals: the same concepts tagged without an award dimension: the whole-plan view, and the only populated section for single-plan filers that never dimension.

The roll-forward identity (prior nonvested + granted − vested − forfeited = nonvested) is checked at read time and surfaced as rollForward.reconciles (within 0.5%, present only when every leg and the prior balance are known). Values are always served as filed, never adjusted to force the identity.

Monetary values default to US dollars (currency parameter as on the statements endpoints: expense flows at the period-average rate, balances and per-share values at the period-end spot rate, fx block for the audit trail, currency=original for as-filed). Share counts are never converted.

What this data can tell you:

  • Future dilution: nonvested shares and the option book vs shares outstanding.
  • Committed compensation not yet expensed (unrecognized cost).
  • Net share-count effect when paired with the buybacks endpoint.
  • Valuation assumptions (volatility, risk-free rate, dividend yield) vs peers.
  • Roll-forward consistency via the reconciles flag.

Data honesty notes:

  • assumptions are fractions of 1 (0.45 = 45% volatility). Mis-tagged whole percents are re-scaled and flagged normalized: true; volatility uses a wider re-scale threshold because >150% volatility is legitimate for high-volatility issuers.
  • Quarterly entries carry whatever the 10-Q tagged; full roll-forwards are 10-K-weighted.
  • Coverage is US-GAAP filers; this is the widest-coverage footnote endpoint (~80% of the active universe).

Query parameters

symbolstring

Stock ticker symbol. Identify the entity by exactly one of: symbol, cik, cusip, composite_figi, or share_class_figi. At least one is required.

cikinteger

SEC Central Index Key (CIK).

cusipstring

CUSIP identifier (9 characters).

composite_figistring

Composite OpenFIGI identifier.

share_class_figistring

Share-class OpenFIGI identifier.

currencystring

Currency to return all monetary values in (default USD).

Pass any ISO 4217 code from the table below, or original to disable conversion and receive every figure in its own as-reported currency. With a target currency, any line item not already in it is converted on the fly at the period-appropriate rate (spot for balance-sheet instants, period-average for income/cash-flow flows); values already in the target pass through untouched (no round-trip), and the per-period fx block records the rate(s) applied. A currency that cannot be priced for a given period leaves those facts native and flags them under fx.unconverted.

period'annual' | 'quarter'

Base reporting period: annual or quarter (the periods companies actually report, without the derived ttm rollup).

The reporting period: annual returns full fiscal years; quarter returns what each 10-Q tagged (Q4 = fiscal-year-end balances).

limitinteger

Maximum number of periods to return (may be clamped by subscription tier).

Response

Per-award-type and plan-total share-based compensation, organized by period

periodstring date

The fiscal period end date (YYYY-MM-DD)

fiscalYearinteger

The company's fiscal year (handles non-December year-ends).

fiscalPeriod'FY' | 'Q1' | 'Q2' | 'Q3' | 'Q4'

Fiscal period of a reported value: FY (annual) or Q1-Q4 (quarterly).

planTotalsobject nullable

The same fields tagged WITHOUT an award dimension, the whole-plan view (same shape as an awards entry minus member/name). Null when the filer tagged nothing undimensioned. Do not sum with awards; they overlap.

dateFiledstring date nullable

SEC filing acceptance date of the newest filing contributing to this period. Use this to gate point-in-time data and avoid lookahead bias.
