What is Snapchat's stock ticker symbol?

Snap Inc.’s stock ticker symbol is SNAP. The company’s shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under that symbol when Snap held its initial public offering in March 2017.

A stock ticker is a short identifier used by an exchange and financial information services to refer to a publicly traded company. In Snap’s case, SNAP connects the company’s market data—such as its share price, trading volume, and filings—with the corporate parent of Snapchat.

The ticker is not “SNAPCHAT,” because exchanges generally use brief symbols rather than a product’s full consumer-facing name. Nor is it SNC or SNPC. Those alternatives may look plausible, but they are not Snap Inc.’s listed symbol.

Snap’s public-market debut was notable because the company offered investors shares without conventional voting rights, giving founders Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy significant control. The company’s Class A common stock trades under SNAP on the NYSE.
