Stock (sometimes known as capital stock) in the financial industry refers to the shares into which ownership of a corporation or company is divided.
A single share of stock represents a fractional ownership interest in the company based on the total number of shares.
The shareholder (stockholder) will then typically be entitled to that portion of the company's earnings, proceeds from the sale of company assets (after paying off all senior claims such as secured and unsecured debt), or voting rights, with these rights frequently being distributed in proportion to the amount of money each stockholder has invested.
