Preferred stock is a type of corporate equity that has priority over common stock in terms of dividend payments and assets in the event of liquidation. When a company issues preferred stock, it assigns a par value to each share. Par value is the minimum price at which the stock can be sold. However, the market value of preferred stock can fluctuate, and it is possible for the stock to trade at a price above its par value. When this occurs, the stock is said to be trading “in excess of par value.” Calculating the excess of par value for preferred stock is a relatively straightforward process that can be done using the following formula:<\/p>\n

Excess of Par Value = Market Price – Par Value<\/p>\n

For example, if a company’s preferred stock has a par value of $10 per share and is trading at $12 per share, the excess of par value would be $2.<\/p>\n
