World's largest stock exchange by the total market value of its listed companies, located at 11 Wall Street in Manhattan. It lists most of the largest US companies and many foreign ones, and its core trading session runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time.

Usage notes
The exchange traces its origins to the Buttonwood Agreement signed by 24 brokers in 1792. It has been owned by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) since 2013. Unlike Nasdaq's fully electronic model, the NYSE keeps a trading floor staffed by designated market makers. Its listed stocks traditionally have tickers of one to three letters.
