It entitles its holder (the shareholder) to an equal claim on the company's profits and an equal obligation for the company's debts and losses.Two major types of shares are (1) ordinary shares (common stock), which entitle the shareholder to share in the earnings of the company as and when they occur, and to vote at the company's annual general meetings and other official meetings, and (2) preference shares (preferred stock) which entitle the shareholder to a fixed periodic income (interest) but generally do not give him or her voting rights.See also stock.stock subscript...listing require...Multiple Listin...entrepreneurial...asset value per...execution only...growth mutual f...appraisal rightpari passuintrinsic valueshare indexUse 'share' in a SentenceIn the early stages of childhood, children are learning by imitation and it is very important to set an example of how to share so they will work well with others16 people found this helpful In light of the tragic death of Steve Jobs, apple inc. shares have seen a 17% rise with the release of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+.15 people found this helpful Me and my girlfriend are together and that means that we share all of our life experiences with each other.14 people found this helpful Read more: http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/share.html

Preference Shares
SHARE
Video Definition
Preference shares, more commonly referred to as preferred stock, are shares of a company’s stock with dividends that are paid out to shareholders before common stock dividends are issued. If the company enters bankruptcy, the shareholders with preferred stock are entitled to be paid from company assets first. Most preference shares have a fixed dividend, while common stocks generally do not. Preferred stock shareholders also typically do not hold any voting rights, but common shareholders usually do.

What are 'Shares'
Shares are units of ownership interest in a corporation or financial asset that provide for an equal distribution in any profits, if any are declared, in the form of dividends. The two main types of shares are common shares and preferred shares. Physical paper stock certificates have been replaced with electronic recording of stock shares, just as mutual fund shares are recorded electronically.

BUSINESS SHARES
Why companies want to please shareholders
Professional investors buy shares in the hope of benefiting from a rising stream of income over the long term.
When profits are distributed to the shareholders the payments are known as "dividends". The capital value of a share - its quoted price - moves mostly in line with expectations of long term dividend payment.
There are myriad reasons why the expectation may become better or worse. A reduction in alcohol duty would guarantee a rise in distilling companies making whisky. An increase in VAT would hit retailers. More technically, a positive or negative assessment of a company's management ability could change investor sentiment enormously.
So why do companies go through all this daily public examination and give shareholders votes to - in extremis - remove directors from their positions of power?
The simple answer is that "floating" - selling shares in their companies to anonymous investors - raises millions of pounds to allow those same companies to expand into bigger and hopefully better businesses. Companies and shareholders alike have a responsibility to each other.
