Equity Shares: -
The ownership capital in a corporation is represented by equity shares, also referred to as
common shares. The owners of these shares are the company's legitimate owners. They hold
all the company's voting rights and have unrestricted claim to its assets and income.
Maximising the value of a company's stock shares is its main goal. They assume ownership
risk as they are the business's owners. Once the preferred dividends have been paid, they are
eligible for dividends. The amount of the dividend paid on these shares is not fixed and is
determined by the availability of distributable profits and the directors' intentions.
In prosperous times, they may receive greater dividend rates, but they also run the danger of
receiving no pay-outs during difficult times. Like this, at the dissolution of the business, they
may exercise their claim over any assets that remain after paying all other claims, including
those of preference shareholders.
