what is the symbol for a stock that is when issued?

Question

I am looking for the ticker symbol for Altria when issued stock that can be used on Yahoo to get trading information. For example, Altria is MO; usually its when issued stock would have a ticker symbol of MOWI or MO-WI, but this doesn't work.

Altria when issued traded millions of shares today on the first day of trading. Information can be found at Schwab on-line under the ticker symbol MO/WI, but I cannot find a ticker symbol to use for Yahoo Finance. Maybe Yahoo Finance is unable to show for several more days, but I am not sure of the exact reason since the info is available elsewhere.

Thanks for any input.

Answer 1

Could it be since the date of record is March 16th, the MOwi will not show up until then?

Answer 2

Thanks for the clarification - this is an option for Altria, so it's ticker is MO+WI on Bloomberg or probablt MOWI.O or MOWI.X on Yahoo..... Hope that helps!
