Approximately half the stocks, 51.1%, are listed on the NYSE, and approximately half, 48.1%, are listed on the NASDAQ. The PSE is price weighted; that is, the component stocks are given a percentage weighting based on their price. The PSE is calculated by adding the prices of the component stocks and using a divisor that is adjusted for splits and stock dividends equal to or greater than 10% of the market value of an issue. The index is calculated and disseminated every 15 seconds. Since 1983, the index has been disseminated to all major quotation vendors.
