If you do not know your company’s ticker symbol, try this Ticker Symbol Lookup This link opens in a new window. 

If you search by company name and see multiple options available, look for one on either the New York Stock Exchange (NYS or NYSE) or NASDAQ (or NAS), as these are the major exchanges in the US.
