callable preferred stock definition - business

callable preferred stock

An issue of preferred stock that may be repurchased by the issuer at a specific price, usually par value or slightly above. The option to repurchase such stock is held by the issuer, not the investor. Calls can be expected when market rates of interest have fallen significantly below the yield on the preferred stock at the time the stock was issued.
