Infrequently, the investor will come across classified common stocks. These are usually called Class A or Class B stocks. The class A stock is sold to the public and the class B stock is usually retained by the management

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.
