    Stocks refer to ownership in a company overall. While shares  are the individual pieces that make up that ownership.

    Share means one unit of ownership in a company. For instance, If you own 100 shares of MTN Nigeria, you hold 100 individual units.

    You own stock in a company, and that ownership is divided into shares. All the shares together make up the company’s stock. So stock is the whole while shares means the individual units.
