   Facebook parent Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) will finally abandon the ticker symbol that reminds everyone of Facebook - next week.    The company will change its ticker from FB to META prior to the market open on June 9.    That change was planned along with a company name change from Facebook to Meta Platforms that the firm announced Oct. 28.    Shareholders don't need to take action; the stock will still be listed on Nasdaq with an unchanged CUSIP number.
