Why IT companies increasingly choose not to list publicly
01 October 2024
The number of companies going public has declined, especially in tech, due to challenges like onerous reporting requirements, intellectual property exposure risks, and short-term market pressures. Simultaneously, the rise of private equity offers an attractive funding alternative, allowing companies to focus on long-term growth without public market scrutiny.
This shift is reshaping the investment landscape, prompting both public and private markets to reconsider how they support IT company innovation and growth.
