Tracking the Number of Publicly-Traded Companies in the U.S. Stock Market
How many U.S. companies have been publicly listed on the AMEX, NASDAQ and NYSE stock market exchanges over each of the past 40 years?
The answer is graphically presented in the following chart!
In the chart, we’ve also indicated the National Bureau of Economic Research’s official periods of recession in the U.S. economy, and also the period of time from April 1997 to June 2003 during which the Dot Com Bubble first inflated (up to August 2000) and then deflated.
