Phantom stock: used in executive compensation programs, the executive is granted a number of shares of the company; each share entitles the executive to the amount, if any, by which the market price of the stock at some future time exceeds the current market price.

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.
