Product Summary: Going public is a big milestone for a company. Among the many preparations a firm must make before launching, management will select a unique stock ticker for identification. On the U.S. Exchanges, a ticker is limited to 1-4 capital letters. And while most companies just go with an a
eviated version of their name others have gotten notably creative with their choices. Interestingly, studies have suggested stocks with "clever" stock symbols outperform their peers. In trying to explain this phenomenon, one of the researches writes "Perhaps a clever ticker symbol has been a useful barometer of the managers' ability.. [to] repeatedly exceeded investors' expectations. Or perhaps a clever ticker matters because it is memorable and has a subtle, but persistent, influence on investors who buy the stock and on those who are considering a merger or acquisition."
