What is a Share? A Small Slice of a Company

हिंदी में पढ़ें

The question

"A friend says he 'owns Reliance'. He owns 12 shares worth about ₹15,000. Is he joking, or is it true?"

It is true. Not "sort of", not "like owning" — he legally owns a piece of one of the largest companies on Earth. This chapter explains what that piece is, why any company would sell pieces of itself, and why the price of that piece moves every single day.

Check your understanding

  1. A share legally represents:
  2. Why does a growing company sell shares instead of only taking loans?
  3. A company announces profits far below expectations. What most likely happens to its share price that day, and why?
