Quote Basics

  • Quotes are delayed 15 minutes for Nasdaq and 20 minutes for other exchanges. The quote data is updated continuously while the stock markets are open, the data displayed reflects the delayed version of the last trade.

  • Times reported are the Eastern United States time zone. The U.S. stock markets are open from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, except holidays.

  • You must use a "ticker symbol" to get a quote for a stock. You can search for a company by its name via our alphabetical listing of companies and funds. You can also search the full universe of ticker symbols we carry (such as indices, currencies, etc.) via the look up the symbol link that appears on the Yahoo! Canada Finance pages.

  • You can get quotes for up to 200 stocks at a time. Enter multiple ticker symbols separated by a space or comma.

  • Basic and detailed quotes are available. Basic quotes display only the last price, change, and volume. Click on the "detailed quotes" button to get more-detailed quotes, which includes more detailed information. Note that Bid and Ask prices are not displayed for NYSE stocks as it is not allowed by the exchange.

  • Feel free to add links to our quote system on web pages you are creating. See Accessing Quote Data From Your Web Page for more information and examples.

  • The Yahoo! Canada Finance system will remain free to its users, thanks to our advertisers. Interested advertisers may contact our advertising department.
