Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSTK), which operates as Bed Bath &
Beyond, today announced that it will change its corporate name to
Beyond, Inc. effective November 6, 2023. Concurrently, with the
corporate name change, the company will transfer its stock listing
from the Nasdaq Global Market (NASDAQ) to the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) and change its ticker symbol from OSTK to BYON.
Following the corporate name change, Beyond, Inc. will continue to
operate its furniture and home furnishings ecommerce business under
the Bed Bath & Beyond brand.
On June 28, 2023, Overstock.com, Inc. acquired the Bed Bath
& Beyond brand and associated intellectual property. Overstock
was rebranded as Bed Bath & Beyond, launching
bedbathandbeyond.ca (formerly overstock.ca) in Canada on June 29,
2023, followed by bedbathandbeyond.com (formerly overstock.com) and
the brand’s new mobile app in the United States on August 1, 2023.
Today, Bed Bath & Beyond sells a broad array of high quality,
on-trend home products at competitive prices, including furniture,
bedding and bath, patio and outdoor, area rugs, tabletop and
cookware, décor, storage and organization, small appliances, home
improvement, and more.
“Changing our corporate name to Beyond, Inc. sets us up well for
a brighter future,” said Jonathan Johnson, Chief Executive Officer.
“As we continue the process of transforming our consumer brand, our
new corporate name will help us reach millions of new customers
with our advantageous and differentiated, asset-light ecommerce
business model. The name ‘Beyond’ emphasizes our commitment to
connect new and legacy customers with a wide assortment of products
and services. Since our founding in 1999, the company has focused
on bringing technical expertise to ecommerce and providing a simple
and easy experience for consumers and supplier partners. We expect
the corporate name change to enhance the awareness of our iconic
consumer brand, Bed Bath & Beyond.”
Overstock.com, Inc. will continue to trade on the NASDAQ with
ticker symbol OSTK until the close of market on Friday, November 3,
2023. Beyond, Inc. will begin trading on the NYSE with ticker
symbol BYON when markets open on Monday, November 6, 2023. On that
day, to celebrate the transfer, representatives of Beyond, Inc.
will ring the NYSE Opening Bell at 9:30 AM ET.
“We are grateful to NASDAQ for their partnership and support
over the years," Johnson said. “We are thankful to the NYSE for
welcoming us to its prestigious platform. We are excited to join
many of the world’s biggest consumer brands, as we begin a new
chapter in our corporate transformation.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Beyond, Inc. to the New York Stock
Exchange,” said Lynn Martin, NYSE President. “Under its new name,
Beyond, Inc. joins a world-class community of peers in the retail
