Stock Exchange

A stock exchange is a marketplace where investors buy and sell shares of publicly traded companies. It provides a regulated and organized environment that facilitates transparent trading, price discovery, and liquidity. Companies list their shares on an exchange to raise capital, while investors trade these shares to potentially earn profits or diversify their portfolios. Major stock exchanges worldwide include the NYSE and NASDAQ, each with specific listing requirements. Overall, the stock exchange plays a crucial role in the economy by enabling efficient capital allocation and providing a platform for investors to participate in company growth.
