What does it mean for a company to go private? Is it the same as liquidation? Is it a good thing for the company?

I’m writing a story about a company with a new leader focused on making stock prices rise. I want to get the company to do basically the opposite of making their company public. From what I’ve read, you don’t want to do buybacks as a company and going private might be equally as bad, but is it?

Answer: The term going private refers to a transaction or series of transactions that convert a publicly traded company into a private entity. Once a company goes private, its shareholders are no longer able to trade their shares in the open market.
