income share

noun [C] (also income stock)

Definition

› FINANCE a share in a company that pays dividends (= part of the profit of a company that is paid to shareholders) rather than increasing in value: Buying a non-dividend paying share and holding it until it matures is more profitable than owning a steady income share which returns a high annual gross yield. → Compare capital share
