owning a stock means - owning a portion of a company. Every stock holder who holds stocks of a particular company are partly owners of that company.

Let us say you own 1 million stocks of a company XYZ which has a total of 10 million stocks in the market, you are a 10% stake holder or 10% owner of the company.
