What is the stock ticker symbol for Nike?

Nike’s stock ticker symbol is NKE.

NKE is the three-letter symbol used for Nike, Inc. shares on the New York Stock Exchange. A stock ticker is a short identifier that allows investors, financial news services and trading platforms to distinguish one publicly traded company from another. Nike’s Class B common stock trades under NKE.

The symbol is not “NIKE,” even though that is the company’s brand name, and it is not “NIKK” or “NIK.” Nike became a public company in December 1980, after growing from Blue Ribbon Sports into a major athletic-footwear manufacturer. Its corporate name had changed to Nike, Inc. in 1971, nearly a decade before the stock-market listing. Nike was added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 2013, reinforcing its status as one of the most recognizable publicly traded U.S. companies.
