stock purchase
Buying company shares
Stock purchase is the acquisition of shares in a company.
In corporate transactions, a stock purchase means buying ownership directly from shareholders rather than acquiring the company's assets: The deal was structured as a stock purchase rather than an asset purchase.
In everyday investing, it simply means buying stock: I made my first stock purchase through an online broker.
