going public

A company that's originally privately-owned "goes public" when it lists itself on a stock market and sells its shares to the public. It then becomes "publicly-owned", as the true owners of the company are not its directors or executives but its shareholders.

Upon hearing that the company was going public, the investors started speculating how the decision would impact the company's performance.

public good

Those which are in everybody's interest to have, but in no one's interest to provide. Clean air, for example, or the preservation of a rare species of plant or animal.
