With its inception, the exchange intends to enhance opportunities for businesses and investors alike.

The Texas Market Advantage
Texas is already the leading state in the number of companies listed on the NYSE, boasting a collective market value of approximately $3.7 trillion. This places the state in a prime position to attract both businesses and investors to the newly established exchange. NYSE Group President has highlighted the exchange’s commitment to fostering a pro-business climate that champions growth and innovation.
Unique Features of NYSE Texas

Increasing Competition for Corporate Listings
