A stockholder’s share in a company is called a “stock” or “equity.” It represents the portion of ownership they hold in that company. When someone buys a share, they become a part-owner and gain certain rights, such as voting on important decisions and receiving dividends if the company distributes profits. The value of this share can rise or fall depending on how the company performs and how the market reacts.
Understanding how shares work is important for making smart investment choices; something I explain in simple, practical ways in my Master Blaster of Stock Market-Techno Funda Investor course.
Bondholders own a share of the debt of a company. Stockholders own a share of the equity of a company.

A stockholder's share of a company represents their ownership stake, typically measured in shares of stock. This ownership entitles them to a portion of the company's profits, often distributed as dividends, and gives them voting rights in corporate decisions. The value of their shares can also increase or decrease based on the company's performance and market conditions. Essentially, stockholders benefit from both the company's growth and its profitability.
The portion of corporate profits paid out to stockholders is called dividends. Dividends are typically distributed in cash or additional shares of stock and represent a way for companies to share their earnings with shareholders. The decision to pay dividends and the amount can vary based on the company's profitability and growth strategy.

Preferred stockholders have a greater claim on the assets and profits of a company compared to common stockholders. If a company is liquidated, preferred stockholders have to be paid first before the common stockholders.
That is called "dividends".
When a company makes earnings or profits and shares these with shareholders, it is called a "dividend." Dividends are typically paid out of the company's retained earnings and can be distributed in cash or additional shares of stock. This practice rewards shareholders for their investment and can influence their decision to hold or sell the stock.
