A corporation pays its stockholders primarily through dividends, which are cash payments or additional shares distributed based on the number of shares owned. Additionally, stockholders can benefit from capital gains, which occur when the value of the stock increases and they sell their shares at a profit. The decision to pay dividends and the amount is typically determined by the corporation's board of directors and is influenced by the company's profitability and financial strategy.
Stockholders face the risk of losing their investment if a corporation goes bankrupt.
No, Considered Owners
When a corporation files for bankruptcy, stockholders may lose the value of their investment as the company's assets are used to pay off debts to creditors. Stockholders are typically last in line to receive any remaining funds after creditors are paid, which means they may not receive any compensation for their shares.
Board of
A corporation.
The stockholders, who are the owners of a corporation, are served by the board of directors of that corporation. The owners of the corporation (the stockholders) have installed the board members to run the corporation and they, the stockholders, expect the board to operate the corporation in a way that is profitable. Profits are returned to the stockholders in the form of dividends, and the stockholders profits are a direct function of the number of shares each one holds. The shareholders pay the board members large sums of money (and include generous compensation packages, including stock options) for their efforts. The stockholders have a reasonable expectation that the board members will do their best to run the corporation smoothly and will make money, so a corporation's board of directors is tasked with looking out for the interests of the stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation.
A corporation is owned by its stockholders.
