Usage Note

Stock is an anglicism used widely in Spanish business and retail contexts to mean inventory on hand. The Real Academia Española accepts it, though existencias is the native equivalent preferred in formal writing, and the adapted spelling estoc (plural estocs) also exists. In financial contexts it can also mean shares, though acciones is standard there.

Examples
