We usually think of publicly traded companies as being traded on a single exchange, such as the NYSE. However, there are also companies that are traded on two or more listings.

Donnelley Financial Solutions’ 4Q22 and FY22 earnings, released this week, showcase our progress in becoming a software-centric company. We are on track to meet our goal of deriving 55% to 60% of total sales from software by 2026.

SEC rule changes are being introduced at a fast and furious pace. Consider this—the SEC has 59 proposed rules slated for 2023, with 29 of them due in the first half of the year.
