Purpose: The core purpose of this paper empirically study of the initial public offerings (IPOs) of companies accepted in oil and chemical industries. The paper attempts to answer the question of is there any abnormal return from IPOs in listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE).Design/methodology/approach: This research is an applied research, and its design is empirical, which is done by the method of post-event (past information). For the purpose of the study the t-statistic, regression and variance analyses are applied to examine the hypotheses. We use in the analyses a sample of 29 newly accepted Iranian oil and chemical companies listed on TSE for the period of 2001 to 2012. This paper has studied abnormal return and three abnormal phenomena have been considered in capital market. These phenomena consist: (1) underpricing or overpricing of the firm's stock, (2) lower or higher stock return of the firms and (3) Particular period in market for stock transactions volume.Findings: The results support the hypothesis that there is a positive abnormal return to investing in the newly accepted oil and chemical firms for stockholders. It also shown the firm size is the only factor that can affect the stock abnormal return. With considering significance level, investors have to give attention sequentially to other variables such as stock ownership centralization, going public time and stock offering volume.

In this paper we report returns for initial public offerings (IPOs) in the Philippines and investigate some characteristics found in other countries to affect returns, specifically offer size, firm age, and industry grouping. For a sample of 104 IPOs during the 11-year period 1987 through 1997, we find average initial returns of 22.69 percent. We do not find that offer size, firm age, or industry groupings affect IPO underpricing and conclude from our findings that underwriters who price Philippine IPOs face different regulatory policies, contractual mechanisms, market conditions than those present in other markets.

H Share

The main purpose of this paper is to study the empirical determinants of the underpricing of H-share initial public offerings (IPOs) during the 1993–2003 period. A special characteristic of H-shares is that they are shares of companies incorporated in China, but are also listed abroad. Our estimates indicate that the average IPO underpricing level of H-shares was about 16.8%. We find that the conventional explanations for the worldwide IPO underpricing are not adequate in explaining the underpricing level of H-shares. Some new factors that are important in explaining the underpricing phenomenon in H-shares are identified. We show that the degree of IPO underpricing is positively associated with market conditions prior to issuance. It is also negatively related to the range of the issuing prices as well as to the growth rate of historical profits. In addition, it is found that firms cross-listed in Hong Kong and America have higher underpricing levels.

Offering Price

Market anomalies after initial public offerings are a subject of extensive scientific research. One of such anomalies is underpricing, which refers to an increase of stock price in relation to the offering price shortly after stock issue. The occurrence of underpricing has been verified in many markets; however, the reasons for this phenomenon have not been yet conclusively established. The existence of information asymmetry in the capital market is one of the most popular assumptions applied in the studies in an attempt to explain the reasons why issuers discount the price of their offers. The purpose of this paper is to present the explanatory underpricing theories which are based on the asymmetry of information present between market participants, and to summarize the explanatory variables of underpricing that stem from the theory.

Starting Price

This study was conducted to find evidence of short-term underpricing of initial public offerings (IPOs) and factors that explain the level of underpricing based on IPO samples in the period between January 2005 and July 2012 in Vietnam. The authors found certain evidence to support the underpricing, with the underpricing rate set at 38% and 49%. Having bootstrapping regression model employed, the results showed that the two factors ? the exceeding purchase ratio and the starting price of the auctions ? negatively correlated as expected with underpricing rate while impact of market conditions appeared relatively weak. Other factors such as size, listing lateness, company age, state ownership after IPOs did not correlate with the underpricing levels in Vietnam

Abstract This paper explains fluctuations in the number of initial public offerings (IPOs) between 1876 and 2015 in the Netherlands. We test an econometric model and find that the number of IPOs is strongly related to the economic growth and the size of the stock exchange. We also find that IPOs are timed to coincide with favorable market conditions. Our model explains almost 50 percent of the fluctuations and most of the hot markets. To further understand IPO waves, we conduct a descriptive analysis, which yields two additional causes for hot markets, i.e., high capital needs and investors’ expectations for specific industries.
