此种股票的股东较普通股股东享有优先的权利，而且一般支付固定的股利。主要特征在于：股利分配优先权、剩余财产分配优先权、无表决权。支付固定股利的优先股在很多方面具有债券的特征。 Preferred Stock
Shares that rank before ordinary shares in the event of liquidation of the issuing company and that usually receive a fixed rate of return. A type of stock that pays a fixed dividend regardless of corporate earnings, and which has priority over common stock in the payment of dividends. However, it carries no voting rights, and should earnings rise significantly the preferred holder is stuck with the same fixed dividend while common holders collect more. The fixed income stream of preferred stock makes it similar in many ways to bonds. |
