EQUITY SHARES AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

Equity shares, also known as common shares or ordinary shares, are a type of security that represents ownership in a company. When an investor purchases equity shares, they become a part owner of the company and are entitled to a share of the company’s profits and assets.

Equity shares are typically the most common type of shares issued by companies and are traded on stock exchanges. They give shareholders voting rights on company decisions and the potential for capital appreciation as the company grows and profits increase.

Unlike debt securities such as bonds, equity shares do not have a fixed maturity date and are not required to be repaid by the company. Instead, the value of the shares can fluctuate based on the company’s financial performance, overall market conditions, and other factors.

Overall, equity shares represent a long-term investment in a company and provide investors with the opportunity to share in the success of the company.

Equity shares, also known as common shares or ordinary shares, represent ownership in a company. Here are some of the key characteristics of equity shares:

1. Ownership: Equity shareholders have ownership rights in a company. They have the right to vote on important corporate matters such as the election of directors and major corporate decisions.
2. Dividends: Equity shareholders are entitled to receive dividends, which represent a share of the company’s profits. Dividends are typically paid out in cash, but can also be paid in the form of additional shares or other securities.
3. Residual claims: Equity shareholders have a residual claim on the company’s assets and earnings. This means that they are entitled to a share of the company’s assets and profits after all other claims, such as debt and preferred stock, have been satisfied.
4. Limited liability: Equity shareholders have limited liability, which means that they are not personally responsible for the company’s debts or obligations. Their liability is limited to the amount of their investment in the company.
5. Transferability: Equity shares are generally freely transferable, which means that they can be bought and sold on a stock exchange.
6. Risk: Equity shares are considered to be more risky than other types of investments, such as bonds or preferred stock, because their value can be affected by factors such as changes in the company’s financial performance or overall market conditions.

Overall, equity shares provide investors with an opportunity to share in the success of a company, while also bearing some of the risk associated with ownership.
