Legal Definitions - XW

XW

XW stands for "EXWARRANTS".

EXWARRANTS refers to a type of financial instrument that gives the holder the right to buy or sell a specific asset at a predetermined price and time.

Example 1: John purchased XW from his broker, giving him the right to buy 100 shares of ABC Company at $50 per share within the next six months.

Example 2: Sarah sold XW to her friend, giving her friend the right to sell 50 shares of XYZ Company at $75 per share within the next year.

The examples illustrate how XW, or EXWARRANTS, work. In Example 1, John has the right to buy 100 shares of ABC Company at a set price within a specific time frame. If the price of ABC Company's shares goes up, John can exercise his XW and buy the shares at the lower price, then sell them for a profit. In Example 2, Sarah sold her XW to her friend, giving her friend the right to sell shares of XYZ Company at a set price within a specific time frame. If the price of XYZ Company's shares goes down, Sarah's friend can exercise her XW and sell the shares at the higher price, then buy them back at the lower price, making a profit.
