Equities represent ownership in a company through shares of stock. When a company issues stock, it receives money in exchange that it can use for operations or expansion. In turn, stockholders receive potential benefits like capital gains if the stock price increases, dividends, and voting rights. Technical analysts examine factors like price, volume, market capitalization and corporate actions to evaluate individual stocks and sectors.

payments, but can be converted into a predetermined
number of common stock shares.
