Investors were interested in the growing cybersecurity market and McAfee's established brand recognition.
What We Know
McAfee completed its IPO in October 2020, returning to public markets on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol MCFE. The cybersecurity company raised approximately $740 million, pricing shares at $20 each. This marked McAfee's return to being publicly traded after Intel acquired it in 2010 and later spun it out to TPG in 2017. The IPO came during increased investor interest in cybersecurity stocks as remote work trends boosted demand for security solutions. However, McAfee's time as a public company was relatively short-lived, as the company received acquisition offers and was exploring strategic alternatives. In 2022, McAfee agreed to be acquired in a deal that would take it private again.
