How to find all public (listed) companies on NYSE / NASDAQ for every end of the year from 2005-2020?

tdjager

Hi all, I am currently starting with my master thesis and I can't seem to find how to get a list of public companies on a certain date. I want to get all companies that were listed on either the NASDAQ or NYSE at the end of the year for every year from 2005 until 2020. I seem to be only able to get the currently active or inactive companies and as I am totally new to Datastream I do not have a clue how to just set a date for which it should look.

The key for me is to find which companies were removed from these exchanges to be able to link this to M&A deals and 10-K SEC filings as I want to do a textual analysis on 10-K SEC filings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi

Unfortunately Datastream does not keep historical EOY stock lists for exchanges, however these can be retrieved for many indices, some back to 1990's.
