Stockholder

Stockholder

Stockholders equity, also known as shareholders' equity or owners' equity, is the portion of a company's total assets that is owned by its shareholders. It represents the residual interest in the assets of the company after liabilities have been settled. Stockholders' equity is the portion of a company's assets that is available to the shareholders for distribution as dividends or for reinvestment in the company.
Stockholders' equity can be calculated by subtracting the company's total liabilities from its total assets.
The formula is: -
Stockholders' equity = Total assets - Total liabilities
Stockholders' equity can be further broken down into different components such as:
  • Common stock: - The value of the shares of common stock issued by the company.
  • Paid-in capital: - The amount of capital that has been paid in by shareholders in exchange for shares of stock.
  • Retained earnings: - The portion of a company's profits that have been retained by the company rather than distributed as dividends.
  • Treasury stock: - The value of shares that have been repurchased by the company.
Example:
A company has total assets of $100 million and total liabilities of $60 million. The stockholders' equity for this company would be $40 million.
Another example, a company has $50 million in assets, $30 million in liabilities and $20 million in retained earnings. The stockholders' equity for this company would be $50 million (assets) - $30 million (liabilities) + $20 million (retained earnings) = $40 million.
Stockholders' equity is an important metric to measure a company's financial health and to evaluate the company's ability to generate returns for its shareholders. A company with a high level of stockholders' equity is generally considered to be financially stable and able to weather difficult economic conditions.
