Subject field(s)
  • Stock Exchange
  • Investment
DEF

Debenture or preferred stock that can be exchanged at a set price for a predetermined number of common stock shares.

OBS

The correct French equivalent is "action" in this context because "stock" and "share" are used interchangeably as a singular noun. However, "stock" is usually a collective noun, with "actions" as its French equivalent and "shares" as its synonym.

French

  • Bourse

DEF

Action que son porteur peut, à sa discrétion, échanger contre un nombre déterminé d'autres titres de la même société (en règle générale des actions ordinaires), conformément aux conditions stipulées dans le contrat d'émission.
