Meta Platforms’ ticker symbol on the Nasdaq is META.
The company began as TheFacebook in 2004, became Facebook in 2005, and went public on the Nasdaq in 2012 under the ticker FB. In October 2021, Facebook, Inc. changed its corporate name to Meta Platforms, Inc. to emphasize its expansion into virtual and augmented reality and its broader metaverse strategy.
The stock symbol changed from FB to META on June 9, 2022. META identifies Meta Platforms’ Class A common stock, which is the publicly traded share class most commonly quoted by financial websites and market reports.
AAPL is Apple’s ticker, while GOOG is one of Alphabet’s Nasdaq symbols. FB was Meta’s former symbol, so it can appear in older articles, historical charts, or archived trivia. The corporate rebrand and ticker change were related but not simultaneous: the company adopted the Meta name in 2021, then changed its market symbol the following year.
