This research presents a comprehensive analysis of initial public offerings (IPOs) in Saudi Arabia, using a sample of 72 IPOs examined during the period between 2004 and September 2010. To compute the market performance of the IPOs, we split the sample into two sub-samples: sharia-compliant and non-sharia-compliant and we use two methods of calculations which are buy and hold abnormal returns (BHAR) and cumulative abnormal returns (CAR). In contrast to the majority of reported outcomes worldwide, our results show that based on one-year after-market performance, on average, underperformance does not exist in the Saudi market. The regression analysis shows that the factors driving long-run market performance include initial return and ownership structure, firm level risk, age and sharia-compliant status. The highlight of this paper, however, underscored using T-test for equality of means that was performed on the two sub-samples aftermarket adjusted returns is that Sharia-compliant status significantly alters the level of one-year market performance. This result supports our hypothesis that sharia-compliant firms will enjoy superior non-negative returns compared to non-sharia compliant firms, and supports the over-reaction hypothesis. Based on this result, we introduce a new factor which we call non-sharia-compliant underperformance.

<p><em>This paper investigates the overall market performance of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) in Germany, by analyzing the short and long run performance of IPOs, utilizing the data from 2000-2013. Furthermore the study aims to distinguish and compare the performance of sponsor backed IPOs to non-sponsor backed IPOs, by placing a special focus on the value creating abilities of financial sponsors. The examined data set consists of 286 IPOs out of which 46 can be considered as IPOs which were backed by financial sponsor. The study suggests that, on average, IPOs significantly underperform their benchmarks. Furthermore, the evidence implies significant differences across the IPO groups with regard to performance and operational indicators. The multivariate regression shows that in the long run, private equity firms outperform their counterparts, signified by greater buy-and hold abnormal returns respectively recorded within the three-year period after the IPO. </em></p>

This article examines the long-run stock market performance of German and Spanish initial public offerings (IPOs) between 1990 and 2000. We distinguish between family-and nonfamily-owned business IPOs by using the power subscale of the F-PEC. Buy-and-hold-abnormal returns (BHAR) are calculated in order to determine abnormal returns. Our results show that three years after going public, investors, on average, realized an abnormal return of − 32.8% for German and − 36.7% for Spanish IPOs. In both countries, nonfamily business IPOs perform insignificantly better. Regression analyses show that for the whole sample there is a positive company size effect. In family-owned businesses, strong family involvement has a positive impact on the long-run stock market performance, whereas the age of the firm has a negative influence.
