More than four-fifths of publicly listed companies that received emergency small-business loans from the U.S. government have held onto them, sticking with a certification that they need the money, according to data from market research firm FactSquared.

Those that returned the money announced it through regulatory filings, which are required within four business days of a major corporate event.
