A fractional share is a portion of a whole share, it is a way to own less than one full share of a company. Instead of buying a whole share, you can buy a small part of that share, for example, a tenth or a hundredth of a share. This allows you to invest in expensive stocks without having to pay the full price for a single share.
For example, if a company’s share costs €100 and you only want to invest €10, with fractional shares you can buy just one-tenth of the share. This gives you the flexibility to buy shares based on the amount you want to invest, rather than being required to purchase a whole share.
Webull allows you to trade fractional shares, so you have access to a wider range of stocks, even if you want to invest a smaller amount. This is especially useful for beginner investors or those who want to invest in expensive stocks, such as those of large technology companies, but cannot or do not want to buy whole shares.
