Twitter became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange in 2013.
Twitter held its initial public offering on November 7, 2013, under the ticker symbol TWTR. The company priced its shares at $26 each and raised about $1.8 billion in the offering. Its first day of trading attracted major attention because social-media companies were being closely compared with Facebook.
Twitter’s IPO took place on the NYSE rather than the Nasdaq, a detail sometimes confused with Facebook’s listing. The company had filed confidentially for an IPO in 2013 under provisions of the JOBS Act. Twitter later became a private company again when Elon Musk completed his acquisition in October 2022.
