Common Stock
Common Stock is a type of equity security that represents ownership in a corporation. It is one of the most common forms of stock issued by companies and typically entitles the holder to vote on important company matters, such as the election of the board of directors and changes to the company's bylaws. Common Stock also gives investors the opportunity to participate in the company's financial success by receiving dividends and potentially benefiting from appreciation in the stock's value. However, in the case of bankruptcy or liquidation, the claims of Common Stockholders are subordinate to those of bondholders and preferred shareholders.
