Corporate Stock

Corporate stock represents ownership in a company. When you buy stock, you're purchasing a share of the company’s equity, giving you a claim on its assets and earnings. Stocks are typically traded on public exchanges, and their value can fluctuate based on the company’s performance and market conditions. Stockholders may also have voting rights on company decisions, especially common stockholders. Essentially, owning stock means holding a piece of the company, with the potential for financial gains through dividends and stock price appreciation, along with the associated risks.
