Shareholder

What does it Mean? Any person, company, or other institution that owns at least one share in a company.

A shareholder may also be referred to as a "stockholder".
Investopedia Says... Shareholders are the owners of a company. They have the potential to profit if the company does well, but that comes with the potential to lose if the company does poorly.
