Before its acquisition, Tiffany & Co. traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol TIF.
A ticker symbol is the short code used to identify a publicly traded company in market data, financial news and trading systems. For decades, TIF represented Tiffany & Co. on the NYSE and became familiar to investors following the luxury jeweler’s performance.
The symbol changed in practical significance after French luxury-goods group LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton agreed to acquire Tiffany. The transaction closed in January 2021, taking Tiffany private and ending its NYSE listing. Consequently, TIF is specifically the company’s former public-market symbol, not a current NYSE ticker.
The answer is sometimes confused with informal abbreviations such as “Tiffany” or with invented alternatives like TY or TIFC. Those were not Tiffany & Co.’s NYSE ticker. The company’s long-standing listed symbol was simply TIF, a compact abbreviation of the brand name.
