Certificate representing one unit of ownership in a corporation, mutual fund, or limited partnership.

Stock – Definition

An instrument that signifies an ownership position (called equity) in a corporation, and represents a claim on its proportional share in the corporation's assets and profits. Ownership in the company is determined by the number of shares a person owns divided by the total number of shares outstanding. For example, if a company has 1000 shares of stock outstanding and a person owns 50 of them, then he/she owns 5% of the company. Most stock also provides voting rights, which give shareholders a proportional vote in certain corporate decisions. Only a certain type of company called a corporation has stock; other types of companies such as sole proprietorships and limited partnerships do not issue stock. also called equity or equity securities or corporate stock.

Stock - Share : Difference 

Every person who owns a part of a company receives a form of security representing or signifying that ownership and which amounts to a claim on part of the corporation’s assets or earnings. In the UK, this security is represented by shares whereas in the US it is commonly referred to as stock. There is no substantive difference between a share and a stock – here we are dealing strictly with a difference in "terminology".
