How to Buy Fractional Shares on Fidelity Investments

Yes, fractional trading is available for the majority of stocks listed on NYSE and Nasdaq. However, there are limitations if the stock you wish to trade does not support fractional trading. In such cases, you will be unable to enter a fractional amount and attempting to switch to fractional share order entry will result in an error message.

This ensures that only eligible stocks can be traded with fractional shares, maintaining accuracy and consistency for traders.

1. **Eligibility of Stocks**: Most stocks listed on NYSE and Nasdaq support fractional trading, allowing traders to buy stocks with quantities less than a full share.
2. **Limitations**: If the stock does not support fractional trading, you cannot purchase fractional shares of that stock. An error will occur if you attempt to enter a fractional amount for such stocks.
