A stock ticker symbol is an arrangement of characters (typically letters, depending on the exchange) representing a particular security listed on an exchange or traded publicly. When a company issues security to the public marketplace, it selects an available ticker symbol for its securities that investors use to transact orders. Every listed security has a unique ticker symbol.
For example, the stock ticker symbol for Tesla, Inc. is TSLA.
