Today, Facebook (FB) shared its Q4 2021 earnings report. Here, the company shared how well its business performed over the past few months. It also took a look at what to expect in the coming months. Despite the official name change to Meta in 2021, the company is still using FB as its stock symbol. However, it’s still expected to properly switch to META by the end of this year.

In Facebook’s (FB) Q4 2021 earnings report, the company shared that it is still anticipating its stock symbol to be officially changed to META sometime this year.

Back when Facebook originally announced that it would be changing its name to Meta, the company also said that its stock symbol would eventually be changing from FB to META to reflect the rebrand. However, there haven’t been any updates on this front since then. The message in today’s report reassures that the change is still coming and expected by the end of this year.

The company’s change in stock symbol from FB to META is a part of its rebrand and desire to be seen as more than just a social media company. For more of the stories that came out of Facebook’s Q4 2021 earnings report, Shacknews has you covered.
