capital social
Declined
En France on dirait capital social, au Canada on peut aussi utiliser capital-actions.
En fait dans le contexte il s'agit de la possibilité d'émettre des actions ou de "faire appel au marché" comme on dit en France, la traduction à utiliser en refaisant la phrase serait donc plutôt "émission d'actions".
Voir granddic, assez complet et précis sur les termes financiers et comptables.

in my opinion capital stock in this context means the financial capital, because the text is talking about propelling investments, bruised by an overhang in the capital stock; it is the financial capital that finances investments; also normally the term capital stock is not used for inventories or fixed assets, but I agree with you that the sentence is not very clear
