That’s not a trend.
It’s a structural signal.
The NYSE lists over 2,300 companies.
Fewer than 300 matter to the market right now.
The rest? Quietly fading from relevance.
And here’s the catch:
Many of these companies are still reporting growth.
Sales are up. Profits are up.
But stock price? Flat — or even in decline.
Structure is the skeleton—leadership, systems, strategy, and innovation all working in sync to move the company forward.
How is Wall Street responding to the 90%?
The market is quiet — or worse, indifferent.
When performance data says “growth” but the market says “no thanks,” the disconnect isn’t in the numbers.
It’s in the structure.
Stock performance reflects structural credibility.
If the market doesn’t believe the company is built to lead what’s next, it won’t reward what’s now.
The question leaders should be asking:
Is our company structured to lead the next revolution in our industry?
If the answer isn’t clear — I built a one-page Structured Readiness Lens™ to help leadership teams find out.
It ignites deeper thinking about structure.
It reveals the seen and unseen.
