What are stocks?
When a company needs extra investments, it can issue stocks. Stocks represent a part of the company’s ownership. All companies can have stocks, but not all stocks are available for trading. Traders can access the stocks of publicly traded companies.
Types of stocks
There are two primary stock classifications. First, stocks can be grouped by the industry sector. For example, there are healthcare, services, technology, finance, consumer goods, industrial goods, utilities, and basic material stocks.
Second, stocks can be differentiated by their potential and value. These are growth stocks, value stocks, and blue-chip stocks.
- Growth stocks represent young companies showing rapid growth on the market.
- Value stocks refer to companies with quite impressive revenue, but which tend to be underestimated.
- Blue-chip stocks are for the most stable and wealthy companies on the market.
