- Contango and backwardationThe two shapes a commodity futures curve can take — contango when the futures price is above spot, backwardation when it is below.
- Current yieldA bond's annual coupon in rupees divided by its current market price — the cash income the bond throws off this year, ignoring any gain or loss at redemption.
- Differential Voting RightsEquity shares that carry less than one vote each, letting a company raise capital without diluting control — and letting an investor who does not want the vote buy the same economics at a discount.
- Enterprise ValueWhat it would cost to buy the whole business — market capitalisation plus debt, less cash — as opposed to market capitalisation, which buys only the equity.
- Face valueThe denomination a company's capital is divided into and carried in its books — fixed, printed on the certificate, and the base on which dividend percentages and stock splits are computed.
