ordinary share A fixed unit of the
share capital of a company. Shares in publicly owned quoted companies (see
plc;
quotation) are usually traded on
stock exchanges and represent one of the most important types of security for investors. Shares yield dividends, representing a proportion of the profits of a company (compare
fixed-interest security;
preference share). In the long term, ordinary shares, by means of
capital growth, yield higher rewards, on average, than most alternative forms of securities, which compensates for the greater element of risk they entail. See also
convertible;
growth stocks.
