How to buy Merck 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.

Merck’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. Merck’s price can fluctuate throughout the course of each trading day—when you buy Merck through Stash, we execute the market order during our next available trading window (we have two a day). At Stash, we don’t recommend trying to predict the market when buying investments. We believe it can be a better strategy to buy quality investments you believe in, then hang onto them.

Use our historic performance chart to see real-time Merck stock price and the Merck news feed to help further your research before investing in fractional shares with any dollar amount you choose.

Stash offers two subscription plans: Stash Growth and Stash+.

Each plan can help you reach different goals and offers a unique combination of financial accounts and features. All plans include access to a personal brokerage account—also known as your personal investment account. You can use your Stash personal portfolio to purchase any of the available investments on our platform, as well as access our suite of automatic saving and investing tools. Learn more about Stash pricing.

Once your market order of Merck stock is complete, you'll officially be a shareholder of Merck!
