A public company is a corporation whose ownership is shared among public shareholders through free trading of shares on stock exchanges or over-the-counter markets. Although initially a small percentage of shares are publicly traded, daily trading in the market determines the value of the entire company.

Companies are called "public" because the shareholders who become owners of the company's shares can be anyone who purchases the company's shares.

The owners of public companies listed on stock exchanges are all shareholders. This means that no specific entity has the complete legal ownership of the company, and the shares belong to many investors. Thank you for your inquiry and have a nice day :)
