The ranks of U.S. public companies grew last year for the first time since the go-go days of the Internet boom, getting a long-awaited boost from an expanding economy and renewed investor interest in U.S. stocks. U.S. stock market listings rose last year for the first time since 1999 the height of the dot-com bubble, thanks to an expanding economy, a revival in initial public offerings and looser rules governing initial offerings. Dan Strumpf joins the News Hub. The number of companies traded on major U.S. stock exchanges rose by 92 last year, taking the count of U.S.-listed companies to 5,008 at year-end, according to data provided by the World Federation of Exchanges, a trade association. The rise, though small, is a sign that U.S. public markets have recovered at least some of the vibrancy of years past, reopening a key fundraising avenue for growing companies.
