On which stock exchange did Twitter begin trading after its 2013 initial public offering?

Twitter began trading after its 2013 initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange.

Twitter’s IPO took place 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 decision to list on the NYSE attracted major attention because technology companies often list on Nasdaq.

The first-day debut was notably strong: Twitter’s shares opened at $45.10, substantially above the IPO price. The stock closed that first trading day at $44.90. The offering followed a highly publicized regulatory filing in September 2013, when Twitter disclosed its plans to become a public company.

This exchange is sometimes confused with Twitter’s ticker symbol, TWTR, or with the IPO price of $26 per share. Those are related facts, but they identify different parts of the listing. Twitter later became a private company after Elon Musk completed his acquisition in October 2022.
