Common stock represents ownership in a corporation, giving shareholders voting rights and a residual claim on corporate earnings in the form of dividends. Common shareholders have the potential for capital appreciation but are last in line for asset claims in case of liquidation.
Common stock offers the potential for significant capital appreciation as the company grows. Shareholders have voting rights, allowing them to influence corporate decisions. Dividends, though not guaranteed, can provide additional income.
The primary risk of common stock is its volatility, as prices can fluctuate widely. In the event of liquidation, common shareholders are last to be paid, which means they might not recover their investment if the company goes bankrupt. Additionally, dividends are not guaranteed and can be inconsistent.
Apple Inc.'s common stock is a well-known example. Shareholders benefit from Apple's growth and success, with the stock price increasing significantly over the years. Investors also receive dividends and have voting rights at annual shareholder meetings.
