Not in the US, anyhow.
Bondholders are creditors of a corporation; they have loaned the corporation money and received bonds as evidence of the corporation's. Stockholders, both common and preferred, are owners of a corporation. (STOCKHOLDERS ARE NOT THE CREDITOR)
Without knowing the age of the stock, it is not possible to assess the value of Ezzell Corporation preferred stock. The par value is $100. If the annual dividend is reinvested the value of holdings would have an 8% increase annually, amalgamated plus an increase for any change in value.

The company will typically refer to a preferred share by its initial name which is the yield on its original price --- for example, a 6% preferred share. However, the price of preferred shares varies according to the market so the yield based on the current price fluctuates. Owners of preferred shares calculate multiple yields to reflect the different possible outcomes over the life of the security. * current yield is the $Dividend / Pfd share current price. * Since the share may be purchased at a lower (higher) cost than its final redemption value, holding it to maturity will result in a capital gain (loss). The annualized rate of gain is calculated using the Present value of a dollar calculation. ('PV' is the current stock price. 'FV' is the redemption value. 'n' is the number of years to redemption. Solve for the interest rate 'r'.) The yield to maturity is the sum of this annualized gain (loss) and the current yield. * There are other possible yields discussed at Yield to maturity. Unlike preferred stock, there is no stipulated dividend for common stock. Instead, dividends paid to holders of common stock are set by management, usually in relation to the company's earnings. There is no guarantee that future dividends will match past dividends or even be paid at all. Due to the difficulty in accurately forecasting future dividends, the most commonly-cited figure for dividend yield is the current yield which is calculated using the following formula: For example, take a company which paid dividends totaling $1 last year and whose shares currently sell for $20. Its dividend yield would be calculated as follows: Rather than use last year's dividend, some try to estimate what the next year's dividend will be and use this as the basis of a future dividend yield. Such a scheme is used for the calculation of the FTSE UK Dividend+ Index[1]. It should be noted that estimates of future dividend yields are by definition uncertain.
Market price per share of common stock is a calculated metric used to determine if the price of a stock is a good buy. The market price per share is calculated by taking the net income of a company and subtracting the preferred dividends and number of common shares outstanding.

preferred stocks
Dividends for preferred stockholders are often stated in advance and do not tend to fluctuate as much as those for common stock.
The number of times preferred dividends are earned is computed by dividing the total number of payouts by the term. Most are paid out quarterly but vary based on the market conditions.
