What is Share?

Answer Posted / kkt

Stock typically takes the form of shares of common stock
(or voting shares). As a unit of ownership, common stock
typically carries voting rights that can be exercised in
corporate decisions. Preferred stock differs from common
stock in that it typically does not carry voting rights but
is legally entitled to receive a certain level of dividend
payments before any dividends can be issued to other
shareholders.[1][2] Convertible preferred stock is
preferred stock that includes an option for the holder to
convert the preferred shares into a fixed number of common
shares, usually anytime after a predetermined date. Shares
of such stock are called "convertible preferred shares"
(or "convertible preference shares" in the UK)

Although there is a great deal of commonality between the
stocks of different companies, each new equity issue can
have legal clauses attached to it that make it dynamically
different from the more general cases. Some shares of
common stock may be issued without the typical voting
rights being included, for instance, or some shares may
have special rights unique to them and issued only to
certain parties. Note that not all equity shares are the
same
