According to Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, the iconic stock ticker 'X' has become available for the first time in 124 years following the acquisition of U.S. Steel by Nippon Steel. While this event is rooted in the steel industry, it opens up a rare branding opportunity for AI companies and technology firms that may seek a highly recognizable ticker symbol. As reported by Sawyer Merritt, the availability of such a prominent ticker could be leveraged by major AI players looking to enhance their market visibility and equity branding.
