Best Answer

Company's usually issue stocks to generate capital for their business and expansion plans. When a company goes public it sells its shares to the public and gets money in return. This way they raise capital. After a stock gets listed in a notified stock exchange people trade the stock in the markets and the price of the stock may go up or down based on the way the company's business is developing
