The value of stocks is determined by the perceived future profitability and growth potential of the company issuing the stock. Investors buy stocks in the hope that the company will perform well and generate returns in the form of dividends or capital gains.
No, a stock does not represent debt to the issuing company. Instead, it represents ownership in the company; when you purchase stock, you acquire a share of the company’s equity. In contrast, debt is represented by bonds or loans, where the company borrows money and is obligated to repay it with interest. Therefore, stocks and debt instruments serve different financial purposes for both investors and the issuing company.

A business that raises money by issuing shares of stock?
Main purpose for issuing more stock is to get more cash to run the business and to invest in good opportunities or to fulfil the working capital requirements.
An issuing company refers to a corporation or entity that offers securities, such as stocks or bonds, to investors in order to raise capital. This process typically involves creating and selling financial instruments, with the funds raised being used for various purposes, like expansion, debt repayment, or operational costs. The issuing company is responsible for ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and providing necessary disclosures to investors.
Preferred stocks are a type of equity security that typically provide shareholders with fixed dividends, which are paid before any dividends are distributed to common stockholders. They usually have a higher claim on assets than common stocks in the event of liquidation. However, preferred shareholders generally do not have voting rights in the company. Additionally, preferred stocks can be callable, meaning the issuing company can repurchase them at a predetermined price after a certain date.
There are three reasons for a company to use stocks:1) Finance growth by selling stocks in the company. A startup may trade some percentage of the company in return for cash from early investors, at this stage the stocks are still private. The first time a company sells stock to the general public is called an IPO, Initial Public Offering. A company may issue more stocks later when it needs more capital. (Issuing more stocks may bring in more capital, but it also lowers the value of the existing stocks, as they now represent a smaller proportion of the company.)2) Get strategical control or influence by buying stocks in another company. Since stocks (normally) give voting rights, owning more than 50% of the stocks means that you own the company. Owning a smaller proportion may still give you a place on the company board. This is normally done to improve the core business, for example a company running a factory may wish to have more influence over a company delivering equipment or raw material to the factory.3) As a financial bet, attempting to buy stocks low and sell them high similar to everyone else. This may be unrelated to the company core business.
