What is another word for authorized stock?
Pronunciation: [ˈɔːθəɹˌa͡ɪzd stˈɒk] (IPA) 
Authorized stock, often referred to as "authorized shares," refers to the number of shares of stock that a company is allowed to issue, as specified in its charter or articles of incorporation. Synonyms for authorized stock include "authorized capital," "authorized share capital," or simply "authorized shares". These synonyms all refer to the same concept of the maximum number of shares a company can issue. It is important to note that just because a company has authorized a certain number of shares does not mean they have all been issued or sold to investors. The actual amount of outstanding shares can be less than or equal to the authorized amount.
