closings

Deals becoming official

Closings are final procedures or events.

In real estate, a closing is the meeting where property ownership transfers and documents are signed: We scheduled the closing for Friday.

Closings also refers to the end portions of letters, speeches, or broadcasts—the wrap-up before signing off.

Stock market closings report prices at the end of trading.
