British cybersecurity company Darktrace Plc is cutting the value of its imminent London flotation as it adopts a cautious approach aimed at avoiding a repetition of Deliveroo’s disastrous public debut, Sky News reported citing people it didn’t identify.

Darktrace and its advisers are leaning toward a price range that will put a valuation of about 2.4 billion pounds ($3.3 billion) to 2.7 billion pounds ($3.75 billion) on the loss-making company, Sky said.
