The initial segment, from September 2018, delves into the CEO's decision-making dilemma between opting for an IPO or exploring alternative capital-raising avenues. The second part, spanning October 2023, scrutinises Farfetch's recent financial downturn, prevailing market conditions, and shifts in investor sentiment. This analysis provides a platform to assess the trade-offs associated with maintaining public status versus contemplating a shift to private ownership.engDelistingInitial public offeringPrivatisationValuationExit optionsmaster thesis203604474
