Meta Platforms uses the stock ticker META on the Nasdaq stock exchange.
The company changed its corporate name from Facebook, Inc. to Meta Platforms, Inc. in October 2021. The rebranding reflected a strategy focused on building the metaverse, while Facebook remained the name of one of the company's major social-networking products.
Meta's portfolio includes Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger. It also develops virtual- and augmented-reality hardware through its Reality Labs division. The company's market capitalization is therefore tied to both its advertising business and investor expectations about newer technologies.
Before the corporate rebrand, the company's shares traded under the ticker FB. The ticker changed to META in June 2022, so older financial articles and historical charts may still refer to FB.
