106. Growth, Income, and Value Stocks: What’s the Difference?

We’re back from spring break! 😎 Lately, we've been seeing posts on social media that say something like, “If you want $100,000 a year in passive income, you just need to own (X) much stock.” That sounds simple… but it left me wondering: what does that actually mean? Jess Inskip already taught us what stocks are and helped break it down by starting with the basics back in the first few episodes. We’ve briefly talked about when a company makes a profit, they have a choice: reinvest profits into the company's growth or return them to shareholders (dividends). Seems like two choices, but it actually puts stocks into three main styles: growth, income, and value. We walk through what each of these stock types actually mean, why investors might choose one over another, and how things like interest rates can influence which style is leading the market at any given time.If you’ve ever wondered why some stocks focus on paying dividends while others seem obsessed with growth, this episode will help connect the dots. By the end, you’ll understand:What a stock actually representsThe difference between growth, income, and value stocksWhy companies choose to reinvest profits or pay dividendsHow interest rates can influence which types of stocks perform bestIf you’re learning how the stock market works and want to better understand the different types of companies you’re investing in, this episode is a great place to start. Come learn with me, Jessie DeNuit, as I ask Jess how all this investing stuff works. 📓—-------------------------------------------------------------🌟 Send a question, leave a review, subscribe, follow & share!🙏⁠⁠Support the show⁠⁠💰🔗All Market MakeHer Links 🔗 ⁠⁠Market MakeHer ⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠Subscribe to our Newsletter ⁠   Sponsorship Inquiries: ⁠[email protected]⁠ Merch: https://shop.marketmakeherpodcast.com/ Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marketmakeherpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marketmakeher⁠⁠⁠⁠  Join the ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠FB Community⁠⁠⁠⁠👀 Watch us in action on our⁠⁠ ⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👀✨ Follow Jess Inskip on⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ✨✨ Follow Jessie DeNuit on⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ✨  **Beware of imposters!
