The Quiz: Which company uses a stock ticker symbol that’s the same as its name?
Ford
Nike
Visa
Yelp
Yelp is a crowd-sourced local business review and social networking site. The site has pages devoted to individual locations, such as restaurants or schools, where Yelp users can submit a review of their products or services using a one-to-five star rating scale. Yelp trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “YELP”. In most cases, the ticker symbol is a shortened form of the company’s name. Visa, for example, trades under the symbol “V”, Ford under the symbol “F”, and Nike under the symbol “NKE.”
The correct answer to this quiz is Yelp.
