A public company, also called a publicly traded company, is a corporation that sell shares of stock to the public. The shares are traded on a stock exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE), NASDAQ, or the American Stock Exchange(AMEX).
Investors can buy and sell shares of public companies on the open market, and the company itself can issue more shares to raise additional capital. Investors who own shares of public companies can vote on certain matters, such as the election of the board of directors, and often receive dividends on their shares.
Public companies are subject to extensive regulations by government agencies, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC).
Advantages of being a public company include:
1. Access to large amounts of capital.
2. Liquidity for shareholders.
3. Centralized management.
Disadvantages include:
1. Difficulty in maintaining control for founders and early investors.
2. Disclosure of financial and strategic information to the public.
3. Higher cost of financing.
4. Risk of hostile takeovers.
5. Public scrutiny.
The following are some examples of public companies:
1. Apple.
2. Microsoft.
3. LinkedIn.
4. Facebook.
5. Cisco.
6. Google.
7. Amazon.
8. Oracle.
9. Yahoo.
10. Netflix.
Some public companies also have classes of shares that are not freely tradable and do not carry voting rights. These shares are known as letter stock.
In certain circumstances, it is possible for a public company to take itself private, which involves shareholders tendering their shares and receving payment for them.
Public companies are often referred to as corporations, since they are separate legal entities from their owners. Public companies are able to spread the risk of ownership by issuing shares to shareholders, which allows for a more diverse and broad base of ownership. Corporations can be either public or private.
Major stock market indices such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S & P 500 use market capitalization - the total dollar market value of all shares outstanding- to weight the importance of a public company when calculating their indices.
