WWE Corporate Stock Holders - By Brian Harrod

On October 19, 1999, WWF, which had been owned previously by parent company Titan Sports, launched an initial public offering as a publicly-traded company, trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) with the issuance of stock then valued at $172.5 million. 


NEW YORK CITY: The company has traded on the NYSE since its launch under ticker symbol WWE.

The company has actively marketed itself as a publicly traded company through presentations at investor conferences and other investor relations initiatives. In June 2003, the company began paying a dividend on its shares of $0.04 per share. 

In June 2011, the company cut its dividend from $0.36 to $0.12.

In 2014, concerns about the company's viability caused wide fluctuations in its share price.
