Our List of Publicly-Traded Ecommerce Companies
The growth of online retailing has fostered many businesses in that sector to become publicly owned, selling stocks on major stock exchanges. We've been monitoring publicly-traded ecommerce providers, and we have prepared a list of these, together with publicly traded, pure-play Web businesses which get a material amount of revenue from ecommerce merchants.
We have used a rather narrow definition and haven't included companies with a material amount of physical stores or receive a high proportion of earnings from catalogs.
