11 April 2015 Shares
A company's stock is divided into shares. Each share represents an equal amount of ownership in the company and is entitled to a participation in the company's profits and losses that is equal to every other share. If the company's board of directors declares a dividend, each share will receive the same amount. Each common share also entitles the stockholder to one vote at the company's annual stockholders meeting.
