When private companies decide to sell shares of stock to the general public, they conduct an initial public offering . When you read that a company is “going public,” that means they are conducting an IPO where they make shares available for purchase by investors via public stock markets.
Each share of common stock typically gives holders a single vote at the company’s annual meeting. However, common stock shareholders are at the end of the line after debt-holders, creditors, and preferred stock shareholders when it comes to recouping their investment should the company go into bankruptcy. Common stock generally entitles you to dividends, however you are not guaranteed to receive dividend payments.
Take Alphabet, the holding company that owns Google. Alphabet has three classes of stock. Class A stock gets one vote for each share. Class B stock is held by the company’s founders and gets 10 votes per share. Class B shares are not publicly traded, and exist to help the founders retain control over the company. Class C stock has no voting rights, and is largely held by employees and some common shareholders.
Companies sometimes issue stock dividends. If a company declares a stock dividend of 5% and you hold 100 shares of that company, you’d receive five additional shares of stock, bringing your holdings to 105 shares. However, the value of each outstanding share would decrease by 5%, making the value of your shares the same.
