Stockholder (Shareholder) vs. Stakeholder

• A shareholder is always a stakeholder but a stakeholder can or cannot be the shareholder in a company.
• A shareholder has at least one stock in the public company and interest in stock performance, whereas stakeholder has an interest in the company's performance.
• A shareholder can be an institution, company and individual holding the stocks and a stakeholder can be employees, supplier, owner, vendors, customers, and bondholders.
• A shareholder can buy or sell the stocks frequently based on their needs, but stakeholders are concerned with the long term need and performance of the company.
