I have no idea why anyone would ever downvote this, it’s a very non controversial statement. Being a public company is a double edged sword, it most definitely has downsides to go with the upsides. Depending on the company/industry/timeline/economy/etc., for some companies the downsides of being public can become a lodestone dragging them down (see Dell).

The situation has a lot in common with why leveraged buyouts almost always end in disaster, dispite the hype surrounding them when they are first annouced.
