News Summary
The New York Stock Exchange has launched NYSE Texas, a fully electronic equities exchange now based in Dallas. This initiative focuses on dual listings, allowing companies to connect more easily with investors. Texas companies are already taking advantage of this, and NYSE Texas is set to foster a pro-business environment while enhancing access to the market for both local and international firms.
Texas sees the launch of NYSE Texas, a new electronic equities exchange headquartered in Dallas, which officially opened its doors in February 2025. The exchange focuses on attracting major companies through dual listings, offering firms an opportunity to trade their shares on an additional platform alongside existing listings on renowned exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq.
Offering a unique advantage for businesses seeking to engage with U.S. investors, NYSE Texas enables companies to maintain primary listings elsewhere without incurring extra fees or additional regulatory burdens. Currently, it has begun listing well-known firms from various sectors that reflect Texas’s growing economy. Among them are notable companies such as AT&T, Intercontinental Exchange, and D.R. Horton, among others.
NYSE Group President Lynn Martin has underscored plans to consider primary listings in the future, though these are not yet available. As NYSE Texas aims to create a pro-business atmosphere in Texas—a state that leads the nation in the number of NYSE listings—it seeks to enrich the trading landscape while facilitating easier access for its founding members who already list on the NYSE.
The exchange’s dual-listing framework is particularly advantageous for foreign companies looking to tap into the U.S. market. By offering additional trading venues, NYSE Texas opens doors for these firms while maintaining stringent financial and regulatory standards necessary to operate on any stock exchange.
Some prominent companies that have announced dual listings on NYSE Texas include:
– AT&T (Market cap: $212 billion, Headquarters: Dallas): A telecommunications giant that announced its dual listing on July 31.

As the company moves forward, it is expected that more businesses will consider dual listings to take advantage of the benefits offered by the new exchange. This strategic initiative positions NYSE Texas not just as another trading venue but as a vital player enhancing the financial landscape for companies both within and outside of the United States.
