Number of Listed Companies for several Stock Exchanges
The number of listed companies refers to the total number of companies that have shares listed on a given exchange at a specific period. This includes domestic (Incorporated in the same country as the exchange) and foreign (Incorporated in a different country than the exchange) companies and excludes funds and unit trusts.
This item gets the historical number of listed companies, from 1990 to present, for several exchanges including the NASDAQ OMX, NYSE EURONEXT US, Santiago, TSX, BM&FBOVESPA, Mexican Exchange, Bursa Malaysia, Singapore Exchange, MICEX, Saudi Stock Market - Tadawul, Luxembourg SE, Bombay Stock Exchange, National Stock Exchange India, BME Spanish Exchanges, Borsa Italiana, Deutsche Börse, Egyptian Exchange, Irish SE, Istanbul SE, Johannesburg SE, London SE, OMX Copenhagen SE, OMX Helsinki SE, OMX Stockholm SE, Wiener Börse...
For each exchange, a ticker symbol is created and the historical number of listed stocks is associated with that ticker. For example, the number of companies listed on NASDAQ OMX can be found under the ticker symbol: ^Listed_NASDAQ OMX.
If a company has several shares classes then it will be counted only once. Example: a company that has Class-A and Class-B shares will be counted only once.
