Common stock receives an equal part of the profits on each share, typically in the form of dividends. When a company declares dividends, each share of common stock is entitled to the same amount, reflecting the shareholder's proportional ownership in the company. However, the payment of dividends is not guaranteed and can vary based on the company's performance and decisions by its board of directors.

The type of stock that receives an equal part of the profits on each share to be distributed after all other claims are settled is known as common stock. Common stockholders have a residual claim on the company's earnings, meaning they receive dividends only after preferred stockholders and other obligations have been met. This can result in higher potential returns, but also comes with greater risk, as dividends are not guaranteed.
