Tying initial public offering (IPO) allocations to after-listing purchases of other IPO shares as a form of price support has generated much theoretical interest and media attention. Price support is price manipulation and can reduce secondary investor return. In the past, obtaining data to investigate price support has proven to be difficult. I document that price support is harming secondary investor return using new data from the Oslo Stock Exchange. I also show that investors who engage in price support are allocated more future oversubscribed allocations, whereas harmed secondary investors significantly reduce their future participation in the secondary market.

Underpricing become a phenomenon which often occurs by companies during Initial Public Offering in every country in the world, which offering price lower than closing price on the first day trading on the stock exchange. According to Rock (1982), asymmetry information of an IPO company leads to underpricing phenomena, where the information according to the company are not evenly distributed among investors. This asymmetry information emerging distribution of uncertainty among investors that leads to underpricing. The objective of this research is to test the influence of motive of company going public, herding in stock market, and size of the company to the degree of underpricing using sample of 257 companies listed during year 1990 to June 2009 on the Indonesian Stock Exchange. Sample is taken by using purposive sampling with criteria as underpriced stocks and the stocks are not delisting overall from stock exchange. Data are analyzed using multiple regressions and path analysis to test the relation between motive of company going public, herding, and size of the company to the degree of underpricing. Pursuant to the analysis, motive of company going public and herding have positively influence on the degree of underpricing but statistically not significant. Size of the company which measure using total asset have negatively influence on the degree of underpricing and statistically significant on the first day trading on the stock exchange.

We evaluate the initial public offering price of a new DRAM chipmaker in Taiwan in accordance with the compound real call options model of Lin (2002). The worldwide average sales price is the underlying variable, and the average production cost of the new DRAM foundry is the exercise price. The twin security is defined as a portfolio of DRAM manufacturing firms publicly listed in Taiwan stock markets. We estimate the dividend-like yield with two methods, and find that the yield is negative. The negative dividend-like yield results from the negative correlation between the newly constructed DRAM foundry and its twin security, implying the diversification advantage of a new generation of DRAM foundry with a relative low cost of investment opportunity. We solve the critical value for the multivariate normal integral with the secant method, approximating the integral with the lattice method. It has been found that there is only a 4.6% difference between the market IPO price and the estimated one.

If you walk into most private biotech company boardrooms today, it is likely that you will hear a discussion about whether to go public. Companies at every stage of development are either getting ready to file for an initial public offering or thinking about it. Although the slowdown in new issues at the end of 2013 gave observers pause that the robust biotech IPO market of 2013 might slow down in 2014, the reality has been just the opposite. By the middle of March, 28 life sciences companies had completed initial public offerings on U.S. exchanges, raising $1.8 billion in new capital, and collectively on average trading 47.4 percent above their initial offering price.
