# Stock
|
|
|
|
A type of [security](security.md) which grants buyers access to [income-cashflows](income-cashflows.md) in a common economic enterprise.
|
|
|
|
Stocks are valued by the [market](market.md) as a combination of three factors which inform price formation:
|
|
|
|
1. Momentum
|
|
2. Discounted future cash flows
|
|
3. Public sentiment
|
|
|
|
Stocks return [income-cashflows](income-cashflows.md) generated by the enterprise to shareholders via three processes:
|
|
|
|
1. Dividend payments
|
|
2. Stock buybacks
|
|
3. Mergers and Acquisitions |
