McAfee Raises $740M in Second IPO

The security software giant and its investors sold 37 million shares priced at $20 each, putting McAfees value around $8.6 billion.

McAfee today made its return to the public market after pricing its initial public offering late Wednesday at $20 a share and raising $740 million, putting its value around $8.6 billion. The security company, along with some of its investors, sold a total of 37 million shares.
This is the second time McAfee, which will trade under the symbol MCFE, has appeared on the public market. It was a publicly traded company before it was acquired by Intel for about $7.7 billion in 2010. The deal was meant to boost Intels security capabilities; however, after a
lack of synergy
and direction, Intel sold a majority stake in McAfee to asset firm TPG for $3.1 billion.
Now McAfee is back as a stand-alone company and playing catchup at a time when businesses are focusing on cloud and concerned with protecting their employees from a range of security threats. In the years since its spinoff from Intel, McAfee has
acquired
CASB provider Skyhigh Networks, application and security
platform
NanoSec, and browser isolation firm
Light Point
. It also faces tough competition from industry giants like Trend Micro, CrowdStrike, and Microsoft.
Underwriters for todays offering include Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, TPG Capital, Bank of America, and Citigroup.
