Question

Can a public company list it's stocks on more than on exchange?

Answer 1

Yes.The decision to list or not is the decision of an individual exchange not the regulatory authorities in the companie's home country.The decision to apply for listing is a matter of commercial judgment for the company concerned and is motivated by a desire to increase a company's international shareholder/investor base

Answer 2

Absolutely, and many do, as long as they comply with their rules and regulations.

Answer 3

Yes.

Royal Dutch Shell Group (the petrol giant) is a good example - it lists (from memory) on both the UK and the Dutch exchanges.

There is an entire profession - called stock arbitrage - that makes money by noticing that shares sell for a penny or two MORE on that exchange than they do on the other.

The vast majority of companies don't list on any exchange (ie - they remain private.) The majority of those who DO go public do so on a single exchange.

The ones that tend to list on two are companies that list on their HOME country's exchange AND one of the major world ones (London, New York, Tokyo - though some other countries, particularly Germany are growing to world status.)

Answer 4

Yes ! but most companies ten to list themselves on the home exchange.

Answer 5

Yes, but it works better on only 1 exchange.
