How to buy Essential Utilities, Inc. stock on Stash

Stash allows you to purchase smaller, more affordable pieces of investments (called fractional shares) rather than the whole share, which can be significantly more expensive.

Essential Utilities, Inc.’s share price is determined by its bid-ask spread, which is the difference between the price that buyers are willing to pay and the price that sellers are willing to accept. Essential Utilities, Inc.’s price can fluctuate throughout the course of each trading day—when you buy Essential Utilities, Inc. through Stash, we execute the market order during our next available trading window (we have two a day).
