Equity shares are units of ownership in a company that give the holder a claim on a portion of its assets and profits, like owning a slice of a business. They matter to investors because their value can rise or fall with the company’s performance and market sentiment, may provide periodic income through dividends, and often carry voting rights that influence how the business is run.
