The stock symbol for Ubiquiti is actually UI, not UBNT. UBNT was the symbol for the old name that hasn't been used since 2019. I have no idea why changing the name also changed the stock symbol, but shrug

Thanks, I think. I usually write UBNT because it's distinct and spelling out "Ubiquiti" hurts my soul in ways that I find difficult to properly articulate.

But UI just seems so ambiguous. :)

Shorter tickers are considered more valuable, because they are easier to say, type and remember.

A is for Agilent. C is for Citigroup. T for AT&T, the Telephone Company.
