Preferred stocks and bonds are similar because they both receive regular payments from the company. With preferred stocks, one will receive regular dividend payments from the company. For bonds, one will receive interest payments on the debt that is owed by the company.

In what ways is preferred stock like long-term debt?

Preferred stock typically pays a fixed dividend, in the same way that a bond (debt) pays a fixed amount of interest. Preferred stockholders are ahead of common stockholders in the event of a bankruptcy, but bondholders are ahead of them.Some issues of preferred stock are convertible to common stock, and the value of a convertible preferred stock may rise above the value it has due to the dividend alone. Bonds would not participate in that way in the success of the issuer.
