You're probably seeing ADRs. These are listings of foreign companies on US exchanges. Some ADRs are sponsored, meaning the company itself has listed them. A sponcered ADR is usually NYSE or Nasdaq listed like Equinor or MUFG. Unsponsored ADRs are usually sold on OTC. If you are new to the stock market stick to ETFs like VTI and VXUS until you understand more.
