This paper investigates the long-run performance of initial public offerings of 174 family firms floated in Germany between 1977 and 1998. Family businesses typically come closest to the ideal of non- separation of ownership from control. The fundamental change in ownership structure induced by the flotation represents a change in the governance of the firm as for the first time dispersed outsiders buy equity capital. An examination of the stock price performance allows drawing conclusions to explain the impact of governance changes on firm value. A prediction of stock price performance spans two theories: Advantages of modern corporations where management and ownership are separated are cut short by the so-called principal-agent problem. Managers – the agents – could take actions against the interest of shareholders – the principals. Agency problems in closely-held family firms should be less predominant. On the other hand, the rent-protection theory predicts that family owners have incentives to skim private benefits at the expense of firm performance. Depending on the extent of these two effects, family-owned firms should out-, respectively underperform the market. The empirical evidence seems to support the private benefit hypothesis: 3 years after the listing the market-adjusted return was on average –25.31% compared to a broad index. The underperformance increased to –53.50% after 60 months. Even when excluding potential new economy and Neuer Markt biases, the underperformance is a statistically significant –10.50% and –50.13%, respectively.

Purpose Increasingly, marketing managers are asked to consider the financial implications, in terms of both book and market values, when making strategic decisions. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of marketing expenditures in explaining the variation in the aftermarket performance of a sample of firms conducting initial public offerings (IPOs). Design/methodology/approach Theories from marketing and finance – market-based assets (MBA) theory and signaling theory respectively – serve as the conceptual basis of this paper. The results of this study, based on a sample of 2,103 IPOs covering the 1996 to 2008 time period, suggest that increased marketing spending positively impacts aftermarket (i.e. stock price) performance. Findings The authors find that while short-run aftermarket performance is positively and significantly impacted by pre-IPO marketing spending, long-run firm performance measures do not appear to be impacted by pre-IPO marketing spending. Further, pre-IPO marketing spending does not incrementally reduce underpricing or improve long-run performance when the IPO takes place during extreme market conditions such as recessions or hot markets, and these results are important to the shareholders and potential investors in the firm. Research limitations/implications Theoretically this paper advances the literature on the marketing-finance interface by extending the MBA and signaling theories. For practice, the results indicate that spending more money on marketing before the IPO and disclosing this information produces positive bottom-line results for the firm. Originality/value While Luo (2008) documents a significant relationship between the firms’ pre-IPO marketing spending and IPO underpricing, few studies explore the impact of marketing spending on stock price performance beyond the first day of trading. This paper makes three unique contributions. First, the authors extend Luo’s study by investigating the effect of marketing expenditures on underpricing during extreme market conditions. Second, the authors are the first to examine IPO performance in the long-run as well as the short-run. Finally, the authors assess how long-run performance is impacted by marketing spending during extreme market conditions. The findings of this study has implications for managers and shareholders of firms considering going public through a traditional IPO.

The objectives of this research is to examine the effect of qualitative and quantitative factors to underpricing ( Y1 ), long-run underperformance ( Y2 ), and underpricing effect to long-run underperformance ( Y3 ) with ROA, DER, ROE, Age, Size, Underwriter Reputation, Auditor Reputation and Gross Proceeds as independent variables. Initial Public Offerings ( IPO ) is one of alternatives for companies to get fund from external sources in fulfilling it needs. Three phenomenons related with IPO’s are underpricing, hot-issue market and long-run underperformance. The most frequently happened phenomenon is underpricing which is a phenomenons marked by lower offering price compared to 1st day closing price. The second phenomenon, hot-issue market, is marked by abnormal higher IPO’s frequency, high abnormal underpricing rate, and stock’s oversubscription. Under this condition  investors become more optimist and become an advantage for companies to get external funds through IPO’s, but in secondary market stock price will be corrected naturally and it’s long term performance oftenly worst than non-IPO’s company. This is what so called as long-run underperformance. This study use underpriced IPO’s stocks in Bursa Efek Indonesia for period 2012 to 2015 as sample and use e-views 7 to analyze it. The result shows that only DER don’t have effect significant to Y1, only Auditor Reputation and Gross Proceeds variables don’t have significant effect to Y2 and finally  Y1 have significant effect to Y3. R-squared shows for Y1,Y2 and Y3 indicates that still many independent variables gives significant effects to Y1 and Y2.

We examine 616 Indian initial public offerings (IPOs), including 116 IPOs backed by private equity (PE), between 2000 and 2016, to test whether PE-backed IPOs perform better than non-PE-backed IPOs in the short run as well as in the long run in terms of cumulative abnormal returns (CARs). We also examine the impact of the PE firm nationality on post-IPO performance. Consistent with the existing literature, we find underperformance for all IPOs, on an average, within 1 year. However, PE-backed IPOs have lower degree of underperformance than non-PE-backed IPOs. We also find that size, liquidity and leverage have a positive impact on the post-IPO performance after the financial crisis, whereas issue amount and capital issue year are negatively correlated to CARs before and during the crisis. We also find significant effects of PE firm nationality on CAR development. IPOs backed by India-dedicated PE firms perform best, while those backed by foreign PE firms perform worst and even underperform non-PE-backed IPOs. IPOs by foreign PE firms perform better if they co-invest with India-dedicated PE firms.

Underpricing in the initial public offerings (IPOs) is a well documented phenomenon in the stock markets. In this paper T P Madhusoodanan and M Thiripalraju analyse the Indian IPO market for the short-term as well as long-term underpricing. They also examine the impact of the issue size on the extent of underpricing in these offerings and the performance of the merchant bankers in pricing these issues. The study indicates that, in general, the underpricing in the Indian IPOs in the shortrun was higher than the experiences of other countries. In the long-run too, Indian offerings have given high returns compared to negative returns reported from other countries. The study also reveals that none of the merchant bankers showed any better pricing capabilities.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of privatized initial public offerings (IPOs) on flipping activity in the Pakistan IPO market. Design/methodology/approach This study sampled 95 IPOs listed on the Pakistan stock exchange over the period of 2000 to 2019. The ordinary least square technique and quantile regression were used to examine the impact of privatized IPO on flipping activity. Findings The present study finds that privatization affects flipping activity and creates a quality signal in Pakistan’s IPO market. The findings of this study also show that privatized IPOs were subjected to high levels of flipping activity compared to non-privatized IPOs. Additionally, investors’ demand has been found to moderate the relationship between privatized IPOs and flipping activity in Pakistan’s IPO market. Research limitations/implications Based on the fact that the sample consists of a combination of privatized and non-privatized IPOs, the results provide valuable insight into factors that may lead to unusual trading behavior/flipping during the first day of listing. Originality/value Despite several studies on events (e.g. short- and long-term price performance) around IPO, there is little evidence on how privatized IPOs affect flipping activity, which is a high volume of trading immediately after listing.

<p>This paper examines the impact of convertible debt design on the long-run stock price performance of the issuing firms in France. More specifically, we divide French convertible bonds (CBs) into three categories; namely, debt-like, mixed, and equity-like CBs, based on their total conversion probability, which integrates the possibility of early exercise of the call feature. In line with previous empirical studies, our results show that French CB issuers experience a substantial increase in their stock price profitability before the offering followed by significant under-performance over the three year post-issue event window. However, the breakdown of our sample into three groups of CBs depending on their design reveals, on one hand, a strong evidence of stock price run-up before the offering only for equity-like and mixed CBs. On the other hand, the post-issue performance is worse only for equity-like issuers, indicating that the post-issue performance is poorer the more the convertible debt issuer's stock is over-valued prior to the offering. This finding is consistent with the market timing hypothesis.</p>

The strategy of going public plays a relevant role in business growth. Macroeconomic conditions are decisive for initial public offerings (IPOs). In this study, we analyzed the impact of macroeconomic factors on IPOs in the Brazilian stock market, considering the period from 2007 to 2018. We used autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) models to analyze the existence of cointegration between the variables and the long-run effects. The estimated models considered the effects on the proceeds or the number of IPO, which can be related to interest rates, stock market returns, economic activity, and economic uncertainty. Our results indicate that economic activity and uncertainty have long-run effects on both the proceeds and the number of IPOs. There is also evidence that the interest rate has a long-run relationship with the IPO proceeds. In addition, we tested the causal relationships between macroeconomic factors and the IPO variables. For this purpose, we adopted a Granger causality test. We highlight that uncertainty precedes the IPO proceeds. Expectations about macroeconomic conditions are relevant for the decision to go public. Our evidence can provide guidance for stakeholders and policymakers.
