The Vietnamese word "cổ phiếu" translates to "share" or "stock" in English. It is a noun that refers to a financial instrument representing a unit of ownership in a company. When you buy "cổ phiếu," you are purchasing a small part of that company, which can give you rights to a portion of the company's profits, usually in the form of dividends.
In more advanced financial discussions, "cổ phiếu" can be used in contexts such as: - "Thị trường cổ phiếu" (stock market) - "Cổ phiếu ưu đãi" (preferred stock) - a type of stock that provides dividends before common stockholders. - "Cổ phiếu phổ thông" (common stock) - the most common type of stock that gives shareholders voting rights.
While "cổ phiếu" primarily refers to shares in a company, it can also imply ownership and investment in a broader sense. However, it does not typically have other meanings outside of finance.
