Do you guys know of any manga companies that have stock? I want to do a manga company for an economics project.

Doesn't look like any of them are publicly traded companies. Not surprising.

Yeah, I tried looking for some but had no luck. I went for Time Warner instead. lol So then, why won't manga companies have stock?

In general, if you can't get your stock listed on a major exchange, there's not much to be gained from going public, and a lot of freedom to be lost. A proprietorship or partnership is often a more attractive model for smaller publishers.
Mind you, a lot of manga publishers are actually just brand names, with a bigger company (like Del Rey) being the actual stock-issuing company.
