It's been a mixed year for the cybersecurity industry. 2024 started off strong, with publicly listed leaders trading up and the investment bank rumor mill whirring about Snyk and Cato Networks' impending IPOs.

But after Palo Alto Networks adjusted its revenue forecast in March, the security leader's stock price plummeted, dampening industry comparables.

Here are 10 US venture-backed unicorns with a high likelihood of going public.

PE owns less than 4% of US healthcare providers by revenue

Private equity looms large over public debates around the US healthcare system, but it represents a smaller slice of the market than many would assume, PitchBook lead healthcare analyst Rebecca Springer explains in her latest analyst note.

The report lays out the scope of PE investment in healthcare providers to inform future discussion.

PE-backed providers represent an estimated 3.3% of the US healthcare provider ecosystem by revenue.

Healthcare providers have long been a part of PE portfolios, but growth in the total number of PE-backed companies has slowed over the past six years.

Deals for hospitals and skilled nursing facilities are currently rare, and there has not been a major PE investment in a US hospital or health system since 2018.
