Usage Note

Acción means an action or deed (una buena acción = a good deed) and in finance it means a share or stock (acciones de la empresa). The plural acciones is therefore common in both ethical discourse and business news. The phrase en acción means 'in action' or 'at work'. Note the written accent on the final syllable.
