Shares in Financial Markets

A share represents a unit of ownership in a company, giving the shareholder a claim on a proportion of its assets and profits.

The denominated value of a share, also known as the face value or par value, is the minimum value of the share as stated in the company's memorandum of association.

Income from Ownership of Shares

The income received from the ownership of shares is called dividend, which is a portion of the company's profit distributed to shareholders.

Share capital refers to the amount of money raised by a company through the issue of shares, which is used to finance its business activities.
