Selling stock on the stock market is a common method for corporations to raise capital.
How corporations raise money
When a corporation decides to "go public," it offers a portion of its ownership (shares or stocks) to the public through an initial public offering (IPO) on a stock exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or NASDAQ. Interested investors purchase these shares, effectively becoming partial owners of the company.
Through this process, the corporation receives funds from the sale of these shares to investors. This influx of capital can then be used by the company for various purposes, such as expanding operations
