Numbers of Stocks. More companies list shares on the NASDAQ than on the NYSE. As of 2012, the NASDAQ included the stocks of 2,322 U.S. companies and 288 foreign companies trading as American Depository Receipts, for a total of 2,610. The NYSE listed 1,816 domestic companies and 524 foreign companies, for a total of 2,340.
While the competitive landscape in the stock exchange business is opening up, access to the exchanges is still limited. For the most part only registered broker-dealers can trade over the exchanges and some, like the NYSE, have a history of keeping access down to a select few. Up until its 2005 merger with Archipelago, the only members allowed to trade directly on the NYSE were the owners of 1,366 seats on the exchange.
