A company goes public by listing its shares on a public market (say NASDAQ, NYSE) so anyone can buy or sell them.

There are lots of requirements in order to do so, but profit isn’t one of them. A company mainly has to have its financial reporting in order so it can disclose its books to its investors (so, basically everyone) every quarter.
