Definition
股份公司 is a type of business entity in which ownership is divided into shares (股份). It's the Chinese term for a joint-stock company, a corporate structure where shareholders own the company proportionally to their shareholdings. You'll encounter this term in business, legal, and financial contexts — it's a formal term, not everyday vocabulary.
