dilution
Significado: The reduction in the value or strength of something by adding other elements; in finance, the decrease in existing shareholders' ownership percentage caused by the issue of new shares.
In finance, share dilution occurs when a company issues additional shares, reducing each existing shareholder's proportional ownership and potentially their earnings per share. It is a key concern for investors in growth companies and start-ups that raise multiple rounds of funding. In chemistry, dilution means reducing the concentration of a solution by adding solvent. Figuratively, dilution can describe the weakening of a brand, a message, or a principle. Common collocations include 'share dilution,' 'dilutive effect,' 'earnings dilution,' and 'brand dilution.'
