If you haven&#8217;t, then here&#8217;s a quick recap: YouTube is a media-sharing website where people can upload and view videos. YouTube subscribers get notified when their favorite channels post new content. It&#8217;s a wholly owned subsidiary of Google. But before you decide to buy YouTube stock, learn about the company&#8217;s history and the latest news.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_stock_symbol\"><\/span>YouTube stock symbol<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If YouTube were listed on a major stock exchange, its price would reach $75 billion. That&#8217;s a lot of money, and it dwarfs the value of Twitter, which is worth only $1 billion. Even though YouTube is less valuable than Facebook and Twitter, the parent company of both companies is worth at least $100 billion. But a YouTube stock symbol doesn&#8217;t mean you should invest in the company directly. After all, the company is a subsidiary of Alphabet, a technology company.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube is also a diversified investment, and Alphabet&#8217;s stock has strong liquidity resistance due to the popularity of its content. YouTube also contributes to the advertising revenue of Google, so if a pandemic strikes, Alphabet stock will likely appreciate. YouTube is an increasingly popular medium and contributes to 13% of Alphabet&#8217;s total advertising revenue. And since YouTube has strong margins in the 20-30 percent range, this could be a great time to buy YouTube stock.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube&#8217;s growth is not surprising. The company was founded by three former PayPal employees and acquired by Google in March 2005. During the same year, it reached a staggering 100 million visitors per day. And it&#8217;s a huge platform that has made its creators multi-millionaires. In February 2010, YouTube started to display links to content providers. In addition to the content, YouTube has expanded its affiliate program, which allows high-traffic sites to earn up to five cents per sale &#8211; and as much as $3, depending on the referral rate.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube was founded in 2005 by former PayPal employees who noticed that there wasn&#8217;t a central location to upload videos. They later saw the potential for this new platform and received venture funding worth $11.5 million. YouTube has 1.3 billion users, and five billion videos are watched on the site every day. YouTube generates most of its revenue from advertising partners. So it&#8217;s no wonder that YouTube&#8217;s stock symbol is rising. So what is the stock symbol for YouTube?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_stock_price\"><\/span>YouTube stock price<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may be wondering how to determine YouTube&#8217;s stock value. It&#8217;s not a publicly traded company, but it is part of Alphabet Inc., so its stock price can fluctuate. For this reason, we recommend you monitor its stock price closely. If you think the price of YouTube will increase significantly in the near future, be aware that it may be delayed in some way. However, don&#8217;t give up! It&#8217;s still a good time to buy shares and start investing.<\/p>\n<p>As of November 2012, YouTube was worth about $75 billion. If YouTube were listed on a stock exchange, it would be worth nearly twice as much as Facebook and Twitter. However, its stock price is still significantly lower than many of its competitors, including Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon. As of November 2012, the company had over one billion monthly active users. If you want to own shares of YouTube, you&#8217;ll need to own Google stock, so make sure to own some Google stock, too.<\/p>\n<p>If YouTube was its own stock, it might be worth $75 billion. But that&#8217;s only one estimate. The company&#8217;s quarterly earnings reports are dull affairs for online video reporters. Alphabet is more interested in protecting its reputation and rarely discloses specific YouTube statistics. One analyst, Victor Anthony of Aegis Capital, estimated that YouTube would be worth about $75 billion if it were its own stock. It is also developing original programming. And that will bring even more money to Google.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube stock price depends on its earnings and the market. In the United States, Google is traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange. Its revenues are in excess of $90 billion, and it&#8217;s part of the so-called FAANG group, which includes Facebook, Apple, and Netflix. It&#8217;s easy to buy shares of Google stock if you already own Google stock. In case you don&#8217;t have any knowledge of the company, you can take an online course to learn how to trade YouTube stock.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"542\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ieuzJ5B5Lr8\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"303\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can You Buy Stock in YouTube?
