The stock symbol a company plans to trade under once listed, reserved with the exchange in advance. A reserved ticker does not mean a company is already publicly traded — SEC filings can carry a ticker weeks before the actual offering prices.
A reserved ticker is one of the earliest concrete details available once a company files, and it's genuinely useful for tracking: it's what will appear in exchange calendars, trading terminals and news coverage from the first day of listing, well before other deal terms like the final price are settled. Seeing a ticker reserved is a good moment to start watching a company, not a sign it's already trading.
