To list a company on the Nasdaq Stock Market, it must meet certain requirements, including:

• Financial benchmarks

  Companies must meet financial benchmarks, such as a minimum net income, public float, and stockholders' equity. For example, companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market must have a minimum net income of $750,000, a minimum public float of 1,000,000 shares, and a share bid price of at least $4. For a Nasdaq IPO, companies must have a minimum of $5 million in stockholders' equity and a minimum of 1.25 million publicly traded shares outstanding.
