In stock markets, the acronym CNC has two primary meanings depending on the region. On Indian trading platforms (like Zerodha), CNC stands for Cash and Carry, representing a delivery-based product code used to buy and hold shares for the long term. Globally, CNC also serves as the official stock ticker symbol for major publicly traded enterprises, most notably Centene Corporation (a prominent U.S. managed healthcare giant trading on the NYSE) and Concurrent Technologies PLC (trading on the London Stock Exchange).
