Netgear’s Arlo Files for Cloud, IoT IPO – Barron’s
This evening, Arlo Technologies, a unit of networking firm Netgear (NTGR), filed a prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission to go public, an offering that would attract interest, presumably, for its “Internet of Things” bonafides.
The unit makes a wide variety of home security cameras and alarm systems, some of which compete with offerings from Amazon (AMZN). Analyst Trip Chowdhry with Global Equities Research has frequently sung Netgear’s praises as a key IoT product portfolio.
The prospectus describes a business with 1.9 million registered users and 7.5 million devices shipped, generating 60 million video streams on a daily basis.
The IPO, when first announced back in February, jacked up shares of Netgear at the time.
