Public in this context just means publicly listed on a stock exchange.

It does not mean it is state-owned.



State ownership is just a proxy for public ownership.


Doesn't that depend on the form of government the state has?

(For example, state ownership under an absolute monarchy doesn't seem like a proxy for public ownership.)
