What is Spotify's stock ticker symbol?

Spotify's stock ticker symbol is SPOT. The company trades on the New York Stock Exchange under that four-letter symbol, representing Spotify Technology S.A., its Luxembourg-based corporate entity.

Spotify became a publicly traded company in April 2018 through a direct listing rather than a traditional initial public offering. In a direct listing, existing shareholders can sell shares on the exchange, while the company does not primarily raise new capital by issuing shares to the public.

SPOT is easy to confuse with tickers belonging to other major technology companies. GOOG is Alphabet's Class C stock, AAPL is Apple's symbol, and MSFT represents Microsoft. Spotify's listing is also separate from the company's consumer brand and its green circular logo.

The company was founded in Sweden but chose the NYSE for its public listing. Its shares are quoted in U.S. dollars, even though Spotify reports much of its business in euros.
