A ticker symbol is a unique code consisting of one to five letters that represents a publicly traded company on a stock exchange.
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ are the two major stock exchanges in the United States, and each has its own set of rules for assigning ticker symbols.
The NYSE assigns ticker symbols in alphabetical order, while NASDAQ assigns them based on a combination of factors, including company name and industry.
