Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Stock-Based Compensation Stock-Based Compensation
Our equity compensation plans include grants of incentive and nonqualified stock options, performance share units (“PSUs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and deferred stock units (“DSUs”), to employees, executive officers, and non-employee directors. We also provide an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) and 401(k) match to eligible participants. At March 31, 2026, there were 10.8 million shares available for grant under approved equity compensation plans.
Stock-based compensation expense was allocated in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as follows:

Outstanding, end of period369,086 $102.65 
Of the total outstanding options at March 31, 2026, 0.2 million were exercisable. The outstanding and exercisable options had a weighted average exercise price of $117.31 per share and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.8 years.
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $20.76 per share. This was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
Life (in years)4.0
Volatility39.9 %
Dividend yield— 
Risk-free interest rate3.5 %
Performance Share Units, Restricted Stock Units and Awards, and Deferred Stock Units
In each of the quarters ended March 31, 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we granted PSU awards with a target performance level. These awards are earned based upon our Company’s total shareholder return as compared to an indexed total shareholder return over the course of a fiscal based three-year performance period, starting in the year of grant. Earned awards vest in the quarter following the conclusion of the performance period. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, PSU awards granted in 2023 vested without achievement of the minimum threshold of performance level and therefore no shares of common stock were issued.
Activity for our PSUs, RSUs, RSAs, and DSUs in aggregate was as follows:
