Which company operates the New York Stock Exchange?

Intercontinental Exchange operates the New York Stock Exchange.

Intercontinental Exchange, usually called ICE, acquired NYSE Euronext in 2013. That transaction brought the New York Stock Exchange into ICE’s global network of exchanges, clearinghouses, and financial-data businesses.

The New York Stock Exchange traces its formal organizational history to the Buttonwood Agreement of 1792. It is located on Wall Street in New York City and is one of the world’s most prominent stock exchanges.

NYSE and Nasdaq are often confused because both are major U.S. equity markets. They are separate exchange operators with different histories and market structures. ICE also operates other financial markets, including futures and energy-related venues, so it is broader than the NYSE alone.
