Stock Market Stock Symbol Trivia = BTU

Stock Market Stock Symbol Trivia

Question:

What stock has the stock symbol BTU ?

Answer:

Peabody Energy, which owns coal companies in the United States and Australia. (BTU is a measurement of heat value (energy) and stands for British thermal unit.)

These stock symbols are known as Personalized Stock Symbols (TM), similar to personalized license plates. The symbol spells out a word, which is not a word in the company name and is not the initials of the company name. However, the word does describe the company's business.
