## What Are Fractional Shares? Robinhood
A fractional share is a portion of one full share of stock. If a full share of Apple (AAPL) costs $220, a fractional share allows you to buy $50 worth — which represents approximately 0.227 shares.
You don’t need to buy whole shares of anything. You own a real stake in the company, proportional to your investment. If Apple’s price goes up 10%, your $50 grows by $5, just as a full share owner’s $220 would grow by $22.
This isn’t a synthetic product or a financial instrument that mimics stock performance. When you buy fractional shares on Robinhood, you are buying real equity in the company — just not a whole unit of it.
