In our blog postings, it seems that only a few telecom giants are always making the news headlines. This includes the likes of Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, Windstream Communications, etc. Now, however, it looks as if there is a new emerging superstar in this industry. This rising star is a business entity known as CenturyLink. The company is currently headquartered in Monroe, LA, and provides services to an entire gamut of industries, which includes wholesale customers, the government sector, the Fortune 500 business sector, and all sorts of residential customers.
CenturyLink has a customer base across thirty six states, and in fact, is ranked third in terms of company size (47,000 employees) right behind AT&T and Verizon. It was actually founded way back in 1968, and has achieved revenues and profits of $18 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively.
A stock certificate is issued by businesses, usually companies. A stock is part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his/her money only by selling to another investor. Most stocks, or also called shares, earn dividends, at the business's discretion, depending on how well it has traded. A stockholder or shareholder is a part-owner of the business that issued the stock certificates.
