Listing standards are set out in the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

NYSE at a glance:

Auction-and-electronic hybrid market with a Designated Market Maker assigned to every listed security. The deepest pool of listed corporate equity in the world by aggregate market capitalisation.

On the NYSE specifically, eligibility tracks where the name sits in the market’s liquidity. S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and NYSE Composite constituents carry the free float, Designated Market Maker support and daily turnover that sustain a higher loan-to-value; NYSE American small- and mid-caps are financed more selectively. The NYSE is the deepest pool of listed corporate equity in the world by aggregate market capitalisation, so depth rarely binds on the large board — the questions are affiliate status, any lock-up, and whether the stock is restricted under Rule 144.

The principal regulatory reference on NYSE is Schedule 13D / 13G beneficial ownership reports under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. How it applies to any single transaction — reporting levels, step thresholds — turns on the underlying rules and national-law overlays, which we map against your contemplated transaction at the structuring stage alongside the counsel you appoint.
