优先股vs Common Stock
公共公司通过向公众出售股票来获得资本。当投资者购买公司的股票时,他们将把资金投资于公司,并将成为公司的众多股东之一。普通股和优先股均代表公司中所有权的要求。任何一种类型的股票的所有者都有权获得许多福利,包括股息和资本收益。There are, however, a number of differences between common stock and preferred stock such as the stock holder’s rights, issuer’s responsibilities, risk, dividends payments, voting rights, etc. The article that follows offers a clear explanation of each type of stock and shows how these types of shares are similar or different to each other.
优先股
定期向优先股支付固定股息。在向普通股东支付任何股息付款之前,首先向优先股持有人支付股息。这些股票是“首选”,在向公司股东付款时,这些股票的重视程度更高。向优先股持有人支付固定股息不是法律义务,如果面临财务困难,公司可以扣留向股东付款。首选股东不享受投票权,并且由于他们获得的股息固定的股息即使在公司的运作良好的时候也不会获得额外的股息。有许多不同类型的优先股包括可转换优先股(可以转换为普通股)和累积优先股(其中未支付的股息将在以后累积并支付)。
普通股
普通股是最常见的股票,在首次公开发行时很受欢迎。普通股持有人享有许多好处。普通股东拥有投票权,可以在做出重要的公司决策时进行投票,例如选择高层管理人员或董事会。普通股东也会收到股息,尽管该金额未固定,但收到的金额将取决于公司的表现。在公司表现良好的几年中,股东可以获得更高的股息,但是当公司面临财务问题时可能不会获得股息。普通股东在支付优先股东后会获得股息,并且如果公司经历破产和资产清算以缴纳会费的情况下,同样适用。
优先股和普通股有什么区别?
Both common stock and preferred stock represent the ownership interest in a firm, and are entitled to dividends and capital gains and can be traded on a stock exchange at any time. There are a number of differences between the two types of stock. Preferred stockholders receive dividends before common stockholders. Preferred stock holders also receive a fixed income, whereas common stockholder’s income will depend on the company’s performance; in the years that the company performs well common stockholders will receive more dividends than preferred stock holders. Common stockholders are entitled to votes, which is not the case for preferred stockholders.
