Quantitative traders and investors doing research often need a comprehensive list of publicly trader US equities along with their sector and industry classification. The Yahoo! Finance industry browser is great for that, but getting the data into a neat form requires some programming ability. Since I often see people requesting a list of companies with industry and sector classification, I have decided to post the one I use. It contains the vast majority of US-listed stocks (excluding some very small OTC-BB names). The rows are tab-delimited, and the columns are ticker,sector,industry,market cap (in billions as of 10/1/2009', company name. I hope this is useful for you.
The list is available here .
