You may see that the quotes pages for individual stocks are now displaying slightly differently then they had previously. A handful of updates were made in January 2012 to allow a better experience and a bit faster information. Here are a couple of examples:

• Quotes for NYSE, Nasdaq, and NYSEAmex are real time and will be provided by Nasdaq Last Sale (NLS) when available for free users. If not available from NLS, quotes will appear delayed from our primary listing source.
• You'll see a little larger font in the header to emphasize the current "real-time" trading price.
• There is also addition of two additional fields, "Beta", and "Next Earning Date" on the quotes summary table for equity tickers.

To assure you'll always have the most current information available at all time, we recommend you subscribe to our Yahoo! Real-Time Quotes premium package. (Note: this is available only in the US.)

For our premium subscribers, quotes are real-time and sourced from the primary listing source (NYSE, Nasdaq, and NYSEAmex) via your subscription to the Real-Time Package.
