Name/Symbol Change Database
Home | Hall of Fame | Data Library | Buy Books! | Software Tools | Principles | Feedback
I compiled this list of changes in symbols and company names by meticulous comparison of the daily downloads from DailyGraphs, a database of about 2800 stocks. If you are looking for historical quotes and they are just not showing up, maybe it's because the company has changed its symbol or name. Search this list to see.
Other places you might look are the CBOE Stock Split and Merger Bulletins and the Compustat Merger List Data (1976 to 1991) (you might want to read Compustat's explanation of codes, too).
