shares
Pieces of companies
Shares are portions or parts of something divided among multiple people or entities.
The word functions as both noun and verb: if you share something, you divide it or allow others access to it; your share is the portion you receive or contribute.
In finance, shares are units of ownership in a company—owning shares makes you a shareholder entitled to dividends and voting rights.
