Stock Ticker Code generator

Last modified: April 3, 2025

The Stock Ticker Code generator creates short, unique alphanumeric codes representing publicly traded companies on stock exchanges. These codes, usually 1 to 5 characters long, are used to identify companies during trading and financial analysis.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Short name Example of generated data Data type matching Country-specific
Stock Ticker Code EXXI, BBP, CACI, YOD, NETE, BV, GOODP, KIN, TSYS, BPOPM, SNC, … character varyingcharactertext Default

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column whose name starts with ‘Ticker’ and ends with ‘Symbol’, with any or no characters in between, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional options

The generator produces data based on a regular expression. Since it is built on the RegExp generator, see Regular Expression generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.

The Text box displays .csv files with the list of default stock ticker codes and names. The default path to the files is:

  • C:\Users\Public\Documents\Devart\dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL\Data Generators\StockTickerNASDAQ.csv.
  • C:\Users\Public\Documents\Devart\dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL\Data Generators\StockTickerNYSE.csv.
