I don't know how well it works, I've only tried it on one stock.

However Tradestation says they keep records of stocks that no longer trade.

So for example if the symbol for a stock you have or had has been changed you can out in the company name into the database, it will produce a chart of the company using the last symbol it had.

So if ABC company delisted and the symbol was changed to ABCxx it will have a chart.

Using that chart you can find out a couple of things.

One, whether or not the company still trades, but it's changed names or symbols or both.

Two, if it does not trade at least you can determine when it stopped. Having the date that it stopped trading may help you determine what might have happened. Went out of business, taken over.....

Such companies must have traded over the past 20 or 30 years if I recall correctly. Their database only goes back that far.
