Initial Public Offering (IPO) is an important and widely popular research topic among many researchers in finance discipline. This study is prepared to identify the connection among various empirical studies and theories regarding underpricing of IPO in the stock market of Bangladesh. We have chosen the time frame of June 2011 to June 2016 at DSE to conduct the research. In this study, ordinary least square (OLS) regression method is used to identify in what extent the dependent and the independent variables are related in the level of underpricing. The results of the study disclose that oversubscription rate, offer size have substantial influence in IPO underpricing at DSE. On the other hand, offer time and size of the firm do not have significant influence on the level of underpricing. These variables are very significant and play important roles with the level of underpricing at DSE and it shows relation to signaling theory, information asymmetry theory and agency cost theory.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore how the price limit policy implemented in 2014 affects initial public offering (IPO) underpricing and long-term performance in China.Design/methodology/approachThe data are the IPOs from Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) and Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) between 2004 and 2018. The data are firstly divided into the IPOs before the price limit policy and the IPOs after the price limit policy according to the time of issuance. Then the two groups are divided into 4 subsamples according to the market blocks and the P/E ratio. The authors use multiple regression models to explore the effect of price limit policy in each subsample.FindingsThe first-day price limit system for IPOs is similar to the upward fuse mechanism, the purpose of which is to suppress IPO underpricing. However, this study finds that the policy does not suppress IPO underpricing, but increases the underpricing rate in all subsamples. Besides, the long-term performance in each subsample is different from each other. Main Board stocks’ long-term performance is worse after the policy. The policy makes Small and Medium Enterprise Board (SME Board) and Growth Enterprise Market Board (GEM Board) stocks with high P/E ratios perform better in the long term. For SME Board and GEM Board stocks with low P/E ratios, the policy makes no significant effect.Practical implicationsGood policy intentions may sometimes lead to counterproductive effects. However, since the long-term performance of each subsample is different, it is difficult to judge whether the policy should continue to be implemented or cancelled. Implementing different policies for different subsamples may be a better way to solve this problem.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the study of IPO underpricing and long-term performance from the perspective of price limit policy.

The underpricing phenomenon often occurs when a company conducts an initial public offering or commonly known as IPO (Initial Public Offering). This condition causes stakeholders receive not enough information for assessing the company value. This study aims to analyze the effect of intellectual capital disclosure, economic value added, and inclusion of warrants on the level of underpricing of shares. This research was conducted in all companies that conducted IPOs on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in the period 2012-2014. The number of samples taken was 60 companies, with a purposive sampling technique. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression. The results of testing the partial test hypotheses found that intellectual capital disclosure variables negatively affect the level of underpricing, while the variables of warrants participation have a positive effect on the level of underpricing. The economic value added variable does not affect the level of underpricing. Keywords : Initial Public Offering (IPO), Underpricing, Economic value added, Warrant.

This case examines the initial public offering (IPO) decision made by At-Tahur Limited during 2017. The outstanding performance of the equity market led the company to decide in favour of stock issuance to finance its required expansion. However, soon after the company started its IPO process till the month when the shares were floated in the market, Pakistan Stock Exchange experienced its worst decline since the financial crisis, with the index dropping by 17% over the one year from July 2017 to July 2018. The IPO was oversubscribed, and the company was able to sell its shares at PKR 21 per share, higher than the floor price of PKR 20. The strong demand for the company’s shares and a successfully completed stock offering transaction during one of the most difficult periods in capital market history left the IPO management team confused about whether PKR 21 was an appropriate price for the company’s share and if it was the correct time for the company to go public. The case provides an opportunity to discuss the valuation of unseasoned equity using market multiples and discounted cash flow models. Students are invited to value At-Tahur’s stock in light of the company’s planned expansion and take a position on whether the IPO strike price of PKR 21 was correct. The case also allows for a discussion of IPO trends, costs and benefits of going public and the IPO underpricing phenomenon.

Abstract: In order to expand their business in several ways, for example companies can offer their shares to the general public. Underpricing is a phenomenon that often appears and is experienced by companies that conduct an Initial Public Offering on the various stock exchanges in the world, where the IPO price is set lower than the true value of the company. Underpriced shares often occur because of information asymmetry or inequality of information that occurs in the group of investors who have information and a group of investors who do not have the information about the prospects of the issuer company. This study examined whether the age of the firm, firm size, and return on assets (ROA) affect the level of IPO underpricing on the company at the Indonesian Stock Exchange. This study was measured by Initial Return underpricing. The objects in this study are 32 companies that did the initial public offering in 2002 to 2004 at the Indonesia Stock Exchange and experienced under pricing . Conclusions from the study indicate that the companies age and their size variables are not shown to affect the dependent variable Underpricing, while the variable Return on Assets (ROA) Under pricing are shown to affect the dependent variable at a significant level of 5%.

PurposeThis study investigated the effect of pricing mechanism and oversubscription on the heterogeneity of investors' opinions on initial public offering (IPO) valuation.Design/methodology/approachBesides the ordinary least square method, this study incorporated robust least square, stepwise least square and quantile regression methods to investigate the aftermarket behaviour of investors using the price range on the first day of trading of 82 IPOs listed on the Pakistan stock exchange.FindingsThe aftermarket behaviour of investors was found to be significantly influenced by the pricing mechanism, oversubscription, financial leverage, political stability and the risk of IPO, whereas control of corruption showed an insignificant impact. Concurrently, the findings showed that pricing mechanism and oversubscription played a crucial role in determining the intensity of investors' heterogeneous opinions at high levels of significance.Originality/valuePricing mechanism and oversubscription not only signal the quality of IPOs but also provide an important means for reducing the information asymmetry associated with new listings. Based on the literature review, it was found that both the pricing mechanism and oversubscription have yet to be explored in investigating the aftermarket behaviour of investors using the price range in the Pakistan IPO market. This study suggests that book building pricing mechanism and oversubscription are associated with lower heterogeneity in investors’ opinions at a high level of significance.
