What was the ticker symbol for Snap Inc.'s IPO?

What was the ticker symbol for Snap Inc.'s IPO? The answer is SNAP.

Snap Inc. began trading publicly on March 2, 2017, on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol SNAP. The company had originally been founded as Snapchat Inc. in 2011, but adopted the broader name Snap Inc. in 2016 as it expanded beyond its messaging app, including products such as Spectacles.

The IPO was notable because Snap sold non-voting shares to the public, leaving founders Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy with unusually strong control over the company. Snap priced its offering at $17 per share and was valued at nearly $24 billion at the IPO.

A common mix-up is confusing the corporate ticker with the product name: Snapchat is the flagship app, while SNAP is the stock symbol. The symbol is also distinct from similarly abbreviated names such as Snap-on, whose ticker is SNA.
