Preferred Stock
Preferred stock has higher priority than common stock. Preferred stock provides a specific dividend that is paid before any dividends are paid to common stock holders. Prefer stock pays a fix dividend, but the company does not have to pay this if it doesn’t have the money to do so. Preferred stock also has higher priority in the event of liquidation. Preferred stock holders are paid first than common stock holder in the event of bankrupt. However, preferred stock does not have any voting rights like common stock holder.
Preferred stock are usually cumulative, the dividend will accrue even if they are not actually paid. Once the company has the ability to pay dividend again, shareholders must be paid for their accrued dividends.
