Basics
What is share?
One unit of ownership in a company.
Explained in more detail
A company divides its ownership into many equal units called shares. Buying one share makes you one of that company’s owners, along with everyone else who holds shares.
An example
For instanceIf a company has 1,00,000 shares and you own 100, you own 0.1% of it.
Why this matters to you
You will meet this word in broker apps, company results and market news. Knowing what it means is not the goal on its own. The goal is being able to judge whether a number is good or bad for the investment you are actually holding.
On AlphaVik, any time share appears in a view or a lesson, you can hover or tap the word and this explanation comes with it. You never have to leave the page to look something up.
