Dell did this at 2013 and seems to be doing fine. https://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/uscorp1/secure/acq-dell-sil...

This changed my impression to going-private moves, although in Dell's case the buyer is more like a founder with a help from the investor.

Dell was a special case .... going private allowed them to avoid shooting themselves in the foot like HP

Could you expand on this a little? What did HP do, I'm just not familiar

Absolutely a special case.
