Dell considering returning public, other options as they look to raise capital... https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-26/dell-technologies-is-said-to-be-considering-ipo-other-options
One of the things I like about Dell is the fact that they are a private company, therefore don't have the pressures to do things that may not be the best decision for consumers in order to please shareholders. Will be watching this play out and see what changes this might bring.
That seems like an insanely bad move.
Much of Dell's recent acquisitions and success can be attributed to Michael Dell taking it private again. This really does seem like a terrible move.

Unless Dell is trying to cash out? I'm not sure how that would work for him actually.

Very possible, but that was SO much work to get private, too much for a quick cash out I think.

There's a firm that helped Michael Dell take the company private. Very possible they're wanting to cash out and going public is the way to do it. Who knows.

From what I've read it was a firm he founded and held majority share of. He was the sole person to bring Dell private. Either he's trying for a quick cash out, which wouldn't make much sense since Dell just took over EMC and VMWare, or he's going to get out of the game and the company can't afford to buy him out. Either way seems very unlikely.

Silver Lake was the name of the firm. Looks like they helped Dell take the company private and currently own about 18%. This is just one reason people are speculating they are considering this move
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/26/dell-is-considering-acquisitions-or-a-possible-ipo-sources.html
From the article...
Another consideration for Dell in its deliberations is offering a path to private equity firm Silver Lake to cash out on its investment in the company. Silver Lake helped bankroll Michael Dell's $24.9 billion deal in 2013 to take the company private and owns about 18 percent of the company. -
