Can the game stall if no one buys the remaining private companies?
The rulebook's failure-to-sell rule makes the SV's price fall until a buyer appears, so the game cannot lock up.

No. If every player passes while the first private (the SV) is unsold, its price drops by $5 and buying resumes; at $0 the next player must take it for free. Once the SV is sold, a round where everyone passes just pays the owned privates' revenue and buying resumes, so the game keeps moving toward its end.
