Straight preferred stocks

Straight preferred stocks : These issues are issued and pay a set rate of interest to the holder. However, they are subject to be called by the corporation at anytime.

Like a bond, a straight preferred issuance does not participate in any future earnings or dividend growth of the company. Preferred shareholders do not participate in growth of the share price of the company’s common stock.

Almost all preferred shares have a negotiated fixed dividend amount. The dividend is usually specified as a percentage of the par value or fixed amount. Sometimes dividends on preferred stock may be negotiated as floating and it may change according to a pre-determined base interest rate such as LIBOR.
