Mirriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines bandwagon as being:

1 : a usually ornate and high wagon for a band of musicians especially in a circus parad
2 : a popular party, faction, or cause that attracts growing support -- often used in such phrases as climb on the bandwagon
3 : a current or fashionable trend

I think the second definition given by www.m-w.com is the one we need here.

قائمة الشركات المرصودة


Explanation:
بحد ذاتها الكلمة تعني عربة الموسيقى ولكن من خلال النص المفهوم هو كما هو مبين. أي أن تلحق بالشركات المرصودة في سوق الأوراق المالية كما يلحق المتجمهرون في العرض عربة الموسيقى.

to jump on the bandwagon
ركوب موجة ....


Explanation:
"to jump on a bandwagon" is a fixed expression meaning "to join a popular trend".
I'm not sure what "listing" means here, so I can't provide a translation for it, but you didn't provide enough context and besides you didn't ask what listing means...
There may be better Arabic expressions but ركوب موجة is a rough equivalent of "to jump on a bandwagon"
