Period Return

Using 45 Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 1993, we find that the average initial period return is 594 percent or 2.44 percent per day between the offer date and the listing date. Our results support the political persuasion hypothesis that has been postulated in previous studies on IPOs in other emerging markets. An IPO in China is also a newly privatized firm. Based on a subset of the IPO sample, we find significant increases in profitability and productivity after privatization. But the improvement in performance is not strongly related to the percentage of total shares retained or controlled by the government.

This study investigates the short-run performance of initial public offerings in Australia. Based on sources from the Morningstar DatAnalysis database, we analyzed 211 Australian publicly traded initial public offerings (IPO) listed on the Australian stock exchange between January 2011 and December 2015 using multiple regression analysis with dummies to represent industry and listing year. According to our analysis, total market return indicates an IPO underpricing phenomenon whereas secondary market shows an overpricing scenario. Moreover, this analysis supports the contention that short-run performance fluctuations were based on the listing year and industry settings. This study contributes to the literature by analysing the short-run performance of both the primary and secondary markets

Board System

We study the relation between initial IPO underpricing and two-tier board structure in the Vienna Stock Exchange of Austria, where a two-tier board is mandatory for listed companies. The board ratio, defined as the size of the supervisory board to the management board, is used to capture the effect of two-tiered board on underpricing. The results show that the board ratio is negatively related with underpricing, consistent with the agency theory which predicts that more effective monitoring implied in a relatively larger supervisory board will lead to lower agency costs, and thus lower underpricing. The results are robust to the inclusion of control variables and suggest that firms seeking to raise external capital will be helped by adopting strong corporate governance standards.

This paper examines the initial and the long-run performance of initial public offerings (IP0s) stocks listed on the Main Board of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange. This study finds a significant mean initial return and mean over-subscription ratio, even-though not as high as reported in earlier studies. Size of offer is not correlated with the over-subscription ratio. In general, initial returns. are significantly higher than returns for subsequent longer-term holding periods. Mean initial returns among the three types of issue compared are not significantly different from each other Only in the case of offer for sale that we find a significant positive correlation between its over-subscription ratio and its initial return. Offer for sale also shows a positive correlation between its over-subscription ratio and its raw let11111 far day-365, but turns significantly negative for day-910 and day-] 095. In the case of combination of public issue and offer for sale, over-subscription ratio is not significantly correlated with longer- term returns, for either raw or adjusted return. Finally, in the case of public issue, its over-subscription ratio is significantly correlated with its raw return only for day-180 and day-540, and for its adjusted return, the correlation is significant only for day-180 and day-365.

We review the theory and evidence on IPO activity and underpricing focusing on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and confirm that many IPO phenomena in Poland are not stationary. Focusing on the behavioural reasons for underpricing, we investigate the accuracy of analysts’ valuations made prior to initial public offerings. Using a unique set of data, we find a disappointing lack of accuracy, not only in the results of valuations but also in the underlying forecasts of revenues.

The purpose of the research was to assess the price behavior of initial public offerings (IPO) of equities listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange from 1996 to 2010. We also aimed to observe IPO underpricing and the underperformance phenomenon with different approaches. Short-term performance was analyzed with raw and adjusted initial returns. For the long-term, abnormal returns were compounded and cumulated. Different methods of outliers detection and ways of minimizing the detrimental effect of outliers were applied. In long-term studies, we also compared the results for the daily, weekly and monthly returns. IPO underpricing and underperformance on the WSE still remains substantial and significant, even accounting for the variety of methods applied. The difference in underpricing between the 1996–2004 and the 2005–2010 sample was insignificant. However, we reported statistically significant and economically important differences in underperformance between both samples.

Dot Com

Initial public offerings (IPOs) have been a prominent focus of academic and popular press attention, especially in recent years. Much of this attention can be attributed to the increase in IPO activity as a function of the “dot com” phenomenon. Of particular interest to both academics and practitioners is IPO underpricing. Review of existing research suggests little consensus regarding those factors associated with underpricing. We provide a meta-analysis of published studies. Our findings reveal a number of significant relationships, many of which are opposite that predicted by signaling theory. Implications of these findings for practice and future research are discussed.

Indian Stock Market

In this paper, underpricing of Initial Public Offerings across thirteen different sectors in the Indian stock market have been analyzed, during the period 2010–2020 (Data available till 31st October 2020). A sample of 129 companies, having an issue size greater than INR 100 crores, was examined and analyzed through IPO listing gains, weighted mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation. The study shows that Retail, FMCG and Consumer Durables industry was underpriced the most while Engineering, Construction and Infrastructure industry issues were underpriced the least or overpriced. It was also found that Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) could be a window to make immediate gains in a very short period of time if thorough analysis of the issues and the market conditions is performed. Furthermore, it was observed that the first day return of the companies varies highly and cannot be fairly predicted by the weighted average first day return of the respective sector.
