In finance a share is a unit of account for various financial instruments including stocks, mutual funds, limited partnerships, and REIT's. In British English, the usage of the word share alone to refer solely to stocks is so common that it almost replaces the word stock itself.
A share is one of a finite number of equal portions in the capital of a company, entitling the owner to a proportion of distributed, non-reinvested profits known as dividends and to a portion of the value of the company in case of liquidation. Shares can be voting or non-voting, meaning they either do or do not carry the right to vote on the board of directors and corporate policy. Whether this right exists often affects the value of the share.
In financial terminology, stock is the capital raised by a corporation, through the issuance and distribution of shares. A shareholder is any person or organization which holds shares, or fractions of shares, of a corporation's stock. The aggregate value of a corporation's issued shares is its market capitalization.
In the United Kingdom, the word stock has a completely different meaning in finance, referring to a bond. It can also be used more widely to refer to all kinds of marketable securities. However, the usage of "share" (as in the stock issued by a corporation) is the same.
