Treasury stock is shares that a company has bought back from the public and kept in its own control rather than retiring them. Think of it like a company holding its own tickets in a drawer: those shares no longer vote or receive dividends while held, but the company can reissue or retire them later; this reduces the number of shares available to outside investors and can boost per‑share earnings and influence ownership and stock price.

A formal legal document filed with a government authority that creates a corporation and sets its basic rules — for example the company name, business purpose, how many ownership shares can exist, and who can receive legal notices. It matters to investors because it defines ownership structure, voting rights, and limits on liability, shaping who controls the company and how future shares or dividends can affect an investor’s stake; think of it as the company’s birth certificate and rulebook.
