What is a stock ticker symbol?

Written by Editor

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 securities 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.

The symbols mentioned above are for demonstration only, and shall not be considered a recommendation or solicitation for the purchase or sale of securities, futures, or other investment products.
