I guess it begs to be asked: why has McAfee decided to IPO now as opposed to any other time in the past few decades?

- tomashertus 6y ago"On September 7, 2016, Intel announced a strategic deal with TPG Capital to convert Intel Security into a joint venture between both companies called McAfee. That deal closed on April 3, 2017. Thoma Bravo took a minority stake in the new company, and Intel maintains a 49% stake."

- tptacek 6y agoMcAfee has been public in one form or another for over 25 years. This S-1 is for the most recent iteration of the company, which was spun out of Intel in 2017. (McAfee, then in its NETA form, was the first public company I worked for.)
- awalton 6y ago> why has McAfee decided to IPO now as opposed to any other time in the past few decades All of the tech companies see where the economy is going, and they all know it's time to bunker down. Going public is a good way to raise a nice burst of cash they can sit on to get through the really bad times ahead, especially while the market is still hot enough to raise said money.
