DEF

Stock which has been issued and is in the hands of individual stockholders. It differs from issued stock ... in that it does not include treasury stock, which was once issued, but has been bought back by the company and is no longer outstanding.

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.
