Currently, Singer is owned by a private equity firm, Kohlberg & Company. According to Reuters (link below), Kohlberg is looking to sell Singer sewing machine company. However, there has been no mention of going public, and therefore wouldn't be trading on the Stock Market.
Maybe Singer was the best at one time but I did some research and according to many consumer sites, as well as Amazon.com, Brother is the higher rated machine these days. The history of Brother is that a Japanese company wanted to make a better machine than Singer, which dominated the market in Japan. So, once again, the Japanese have improved an American product.
I have a treadle sewing machine from the 1920's and found a serial number on it and 'Singer' made this particular sewing machine. I phoned the sewing machine company and gave them the serial number. Unfortunately, the sewing machine was not worth much (it was in working order.) You have to be very wary when dealing with companies who put out the product and also the next step is going to an antique dealer with a picture of the sewing machine and the date it was made, but again I stress, be wary. You could also put your information onto: www.google.com Do your research and see what your sewing machine is worth. Then go to an antique dealer.

The St. John Sewing Machine Company, which was the predecessor of the Free S.M.Co., was founded in 1870. In 1883, it was renamed the Royal Sewing Machine Company. After the company relocated to Rockford, Illinois, it was renamed once again in 1897 as The Free Sewing Machine Company after company president William C. Free.Most machines made by the Free company were for sale by mail-order companies and department stores. For instance, machines that are marked "Illinois Sewing Machine Co." were made by Free.In the mid-1920s, Free became associated with Westinghouse which became the sold supplier of motors and electric equipment for Free brand sewing machines. As such, the earlier electrically driven Free sewing machines are labeled Free-Westinghouse.The Free sewing machine company merged with the New Home Sewing Machine Company in 1927. In the early 1930s New Home models were phased out of production and 'New Home' basically became a brand of The Free.The post World War II period saw the large scale importation of cheap Japanese-made sewing machines into the United States. Trade barriers favorable to American companies had protected the country's sewing machine industry from lower cost (and quality) foreign made goods. However, the Marshall Plan coupled with the new ideas of free trade slowly eliminated them.In an effort to stay solvent, Free/New Home merged with National in the early 1950s. However, the resulting corporation was not able to compete against cheap overseas labor, and the company was bought out by the Japanese in 1954.The historical and technical contribution of The Free to sewing machine development was negligible. Like many of the other small manufacturers, they basically made machines based more or less on designs from the larger manufacturers. --From The Encyclopedia of Antique Sewing Machines, 3rd Edition
