As of September 27, 2026, Cato Networks has not filed a registration statement for an IPO on any exchange; no S-1 or F-1 for the company appears on SEC EDGAR, which covers only US filings and would not reflect a filing made with a different regulator. On July 27, 2026, Calcalist (CTech) reported that Cato had crossed $415 million in annualized recurring revenue, up 42% year-over-year, and quoted Chief Strategy Officer Eyal Webber-Zvik saying, "We have not stopped planning the IPO and will certainly do so in the future," while he confirmed no prospectus has been filed yet. The same July 27, 2026 report noted market speculation that Cato was in advanced talks over a possible acquisition by CrowdStrike; CEO and founder Shlomo Kramer strongly denied that speculation. Track SEC EDGAR and Cato Networks' own newsroom directly for any future filing, rather than rumors or secondary-market chatter.

Key points
Growth without a filing
Calcalist (CTech) reported on July 27, 2026 that Cato Networks had crossed $415 million in annualized recurring revenue, up 42% year-over-year. Chief Strategy Officer Eyal Webber-Zvik told the outlet that the company "has not stopped planning the IPO and will certainly do so in the future," while confirming in the same conversation that no prospectus has been filed.
A stated intention to eventually go public is not a filing. No S-1 or F-1 for Cato Networks appears on SEC EDGAR, which covers only US filings and would not show a filing made with a different exchange or regulator.
The acquisition rumor that wasn't confirmed
The same July 27, 2026 Calcalist report addressed separate market speculation that Cato was in advanced talks over a possible acquisition by CrowdStrike. Cato CEO and founder Shlomo Kramer strongly denied that speculation, according to the report.
What to watch instead of rumors
Until a prospectus appears, revenue milestones like the $415 million ARR figure and executive statements of intent are the only verifiable signals available. Track SEC EDGAR and Cato Networks' own newsroom directly for any future filing, rather than unofficial dates or secondary-market chatter.

Searches like 'When Will Cato Networks IPO? Still Planning, No Filing Yet' are research questions: what a filing or a company statement confirms, what has only been reported, and what is still unknown.
What counts as a listing step
For an IPO, the primary record is a registration statement filed with the securities regulator of the listing market, such as an S-1 or F-1 on SEC EDGAR for a US listing. Funding rounds, valuations and secondary-market prices are context, not listing steps.
Segmara role
Segmara is an independent research site. It does not sell, broker, or arrange share purchases, and nothing on this page is investment advice.
How a company reaches a US listing
The SEC filing trail
DraftThe company can first submit a draft registration statement (DRS) for confidential SEC review.
S-1 or F-1The registration statement goes public on SEC EDGAR: Form S-1, or Form F-1 for many foreign companies. A company that used a draft must file publicly at least 15 days before its roadshow.
AmendmentsS-1/A or F-1/A amendments answer SEC comments, and one of them adds the expected price range.
PricingOnce the SEC declares the registration effective, the company sets the price with its underwriters and files the final prospectus, usually a 424B4.
First tradeThe shares start trading on the exchange named in the prospectus, such as Nasdaq or the NYSE.

Risk notes
Rumor risk: unofficial dates, valuations, or funding details circulating on social media or forums are frequently wrong or outdated and should not be treated as confirmation of anything.
Illiquidity risk: any private-market interest, indicative marks, or pre-IPO share arrangements in a company that has not listed can be difficult to exit and may not reflect a tradable price.
Timing risk: a company can pause, restart, or abandon IPO preparation at any stage, including after a confidential or public filing, so no step before pricing guarantees a listing.
