Share
Tap to reveal definition
A single unit of ownership in a company. When a company issues 1 million shares and you own 1,000, you own 0.1% of the company — a proportional claim on its assets and future earnings.
Example
Apple has roughly 15 billion shares outstanding. Owning 1 share = owning 1/15,000,000,000th of Apple.
