Default stocks get listed ?

" Company A got listed at the Hong Kong stock market in Jan 2001. "

Is the above sentence correct ? and How about " Company A's stocks got listed ..... " ?

Chinese people like to say the stocks get listed not the company. I think it is supposed to be the other way round , right ? Or both are acceptable ?

I would think you could say that the company got listed or the company's stock got listed. Either one is, I think, acceptable.
