The Chinese word 上市 (shàngshì) is composed of two characters: 上 (shàng), meaning "up" or "above", and 市 (shì), meaning "market" or "fair". Together, they literally mean "to go up to the market" or "to enter the market". In the context of finance, 上市 specifically refers to the process of a company listing its shares on a stock exchange for the first time, also known as an initial public offering (IPO). When a company goes public, it sells a portion of its ownership to the public through the issuance of stocks, which can be bought and sold on the stock market. This process allows the company to raise capital from investors and become publicly traded, increasing its visibility and potential for growth.
