Articles on past publicly traded corporations would be interesting for everyone who pulls an old stock certificate from a trunk in the attic and starts to wonder what ever happened to that company.
However in many cases there will not be enough info to write a NPOV article. For example an article on say the Salisbury and Southampton Canal company that simply listed it's dates of founding and collapse would be somewhat misleading since it might lead the person to think that at some point the company was doing okay at least.
Now in practice most publicly listed companies will have generated some news coverage so it is possible to write a NPOV article on them but a data dump from company house isn't the way to do it.
