Customize Stocks widgets in Notification Center on Mac
For a quick look at the stock market, check the Stocks widgets in Notification Center on your Mac. Two widgets are available:
Symbol widget: View price quotes and track performance of a single ticker symbol throughout the day. You can add multiple Symbol widgets to Notification Center.
Watchlist widget: View price quotes and track performance of a watchlist throughout the day. You can add multiple Watchlist widgets to Notification Center, and choose which watchlist to display in each instance of the widget. The number of symbols shown depends on the size you select for the Watchlist widget.
On your Mac, click the date and time in the menu bar.
Click Edit Widgets at the bottom of the widgets list.
On the left, the Edit Widgets screen shows a list of apps that have widgets, in the center it shows widgets available for the app selected on the left, and on the right it shows the widgets you see in Notification Center.
In the Edit Widgets screen, click Stocks in the list on the left.

If you want additional information displayed in the widget, turn on Show More Details. The number of ticker symbols and the additional information you see depends on the size and settings you choose for the widget, and may include items such as ticker symbol, current price, company name, sparkline, and up to two change in value indicators (price change, percentage change, or market capitalization, depending on the current setting in the Stocks app).
