Shareholder value is the value enjoyed by a shareholder by possessing shares of a company. It is the value delivered by the company to the shareholder.
In capital markets, the act of selling a security at a given price without possessing it and purchasing it later at a lower price is known as shorting.
Definition: The capital of a company is divided into shares. Each share forms a unit of ownership of a company and is offered for sale so as to raise capital for the company.
Description: Shares can be broadly divided into two categories - equity and preference shares. Equity shares give their holders the power to share the earnings/profits in the company as well as a vote in the AGMs of the company. Such a shareholder has to share the profits and also bear the losses incurred by the company.
On the other hand, preference shares earn their holders only dividends, which are fixed, giving no voting rights. Equity shareholders are regarded as the real owners of the company. When the shares are offered for sale directly by the company for the first time, they are offered in the primary market, whereas the trading of shares takes place in the secondary market.
