Listing standards

U.S. standards

Listing standards for domestic companies require a minimum distribution of a company's shares within the United States. This can be attained, for example, through domestic public offerings or acquisitions. Once listed, the New York Stock Exchange will charge the company initial and continuing fees.

Non-U.S. standards

Non-U.S. companies may qualify for listing, either under global or domestic listing standards. Within that particular standard, a company must meet all the distribution and financial criteria.

Besides the standards required to become listed on the New York Stock Exchange, there are also qualitative and quantitative continued listing standards.
