What is the difference between the various types of stocks?

The primary types of stocks are common stocks and preferred stocks. Common stocks give shareholders voting rights and a claim on company profits through dividends, but they are riskier as they are last in line during liquidation. Preferred stocks typically do not offer voting rights but provide fixed dividends and priority over common stockholders in the event of liquidation. Additionally, stocks can be classified as growth stocks, which are expected to grow at an above-average rate, and value stocks, which are considered undervalued relative to their fundamentals.
