Company name for ticker symbol

Is it possible to get the company name for the ticker from pandas datareader. Such as i can use this code which will output the data for the company:data = web.DataReader(stock, 'yahoo',start, end). How can i get the ticker name Fb for Facebook?

If pandas-datareader does not offer this what can i do to get the name of the company?

Solution

  • Try this:

    import yfinance as yf

pg = yf.Ticker("PG")

print("Short Name: " + pg.info['shortName'])
print("Long Name: " + pg.info['longName'])

    Result:

    Short Name: Procter & Gamble Company (The)

    Long Name: The Procter & Gamble Company
