What is a company that raises money by selling stock?

A company that raises money by selling stock is a corporation, often referred to as a publicly traded company. By issuing shares of stock, it allows investors to buy ownership stakes in the company, providing capital for growth, operations, or new projects. Notable examples include companies like Apple and Amazon, which sell shares to the public through stock exchanges. This process is often done during an Initial Public Offering (IPO) or through subsequent offerings.
