ADT / Apollo Planning IPO

ADT/Apollo planning IPO:

Was Apollo too quick to buy ADT…, now too late to exit (via plan for $15B IPO)? What impact could the IPO “disclosures” have on the rest of the alarm industry? Some of us believe still too much junk, and legacy liability, for premium price, even after the consolidation with ProtectionOne.

Comments?

That would be a huge IPO, on the order of Facebook or GM for recent US-based IPOs (both in the same general range).

All agree… really hard to justify by us layman. Apollo suggests the IPO could be late 2018 so much can happen in 18 months. More consolidation could be issue too.… remember 1968 Fed antitrust decree that broke-up the big guy, then Tyco/ADT?
