Preferred stocks represent a unique class of investment that blends characteristics of both common stocks and bonds. They typically offer higher dividend payments than common stock but may not provide the same potential for capital appreciation.

Key Features of Preferred Stocks:

Dividends: Preferred stockholders have priority in receiving dividends over common stockholders.

Fixed vs. Floating Rates: Dividends can be fixed or fluctuate based on market interest rates.

Callable/Redeemable: Companies may have the option to buy back preferred shares at a predetermined price.

Voting Rights: Preferred stock usually doesn't come with voting rights.
