AMEX requirements :

Standard 1
The AMEX requires companies to have $750,000 in pre-tax income in the two most recent fiscal years. In addition, the minimum price of its stock must be $3 and public float must have a market value of $3M. Public float refers to shares of stock owned by the public and not by company directors, officers or controlling interest investors. In total, the company's shareholder equity must be at least $4M.

Standard 2
Similar to standard 1, the company must have a stock price of at least $3. However, the company does not have to meet income requirements. Therefore, a company can make any amount of money to gain listing on the AMEX as long as it meets the other criteria in standard 2. In addition, its public float must be at least $15M with at least $4M in shareholder equity. Shareholder equity is the net worth of the company--that is, the difference between assets and liabilities. Lastly, AMEX requires companies to provide at least two years of operating history.

Standard 3
Under this standard, the company needs to meet a minimum of $50M in market capitalization. Market capitalization refers to the market price of the entire company. This is calculated by multiplying the number of shares in investor hands by the market price of the stock. Similar to standards 1 and 2, the company must meet a minimum $15M market value public float and a minimum of $4M in shareholder equity. Lastly, its share price must be at least $2.

Standard 4
The fourth standard has the highest monetary requirements of all standards. In this case, the company must have either $75M in market capitalization or at least $75M in revenue and $75M in assets. In addition, the public float must have a minimum value of $20M with a share price of at least $2.
