Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine whether irrational behavior among small (retail) investors drives post-IPO prices. We use prices from the grey market (the when-issued market that precedes European IPOs) to proxy for small investors' valuations. High grey market prices (indicating excessive optimism) are a very good predictor of first-day aftermarket prices, while low grey market prices (indicating excessive pessimism) are not. Moreover, we find long-run price reversal only following high grey market prices. Thus, small investors sometimes drive post-IPO prices temporarily upwards, but never downwards. This asymmetric pattern obtains because the larger (institutional) investors who are allocated IPO shares sell them to small investors in the aftermarket when the small investors are overoptimistic, but ignoring them when they are excessively pessimistic.
Download or read book Hot Markets Investor Sentiment and IPO Pricing written by Alexander Ljungqvist and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We model an IPO company's optimal response to the presence of sentiment investors and short sale constraints. Given regulatory constraints on price discrimination, the optimal mechanism involves the issuer allocating stock to 'regular' institutional investors for subsequent resale to sentiment investors, at prices the regulars maintain by restricting supply. Because the hot market can end prematurely, carrying IPO stock in inventory is risky, so to break even in expectation regulars require the stock to be underpriced - even in the absence of asymmetric information. However, the offer price still exceeds fundamental value, as it capitalizes the regulars' expected gain from trading with the sentiment investors. This resolves the apparent paradox that issuers, while shrewdly timing their IPOs to take advantage of optimistic valuations, appear not to price their stock very aggressively. The model generates a number of new and refutable empirical predictions regarding the extent of long-run underperformance, offer size, flipping, and lock-ups.
Download or read book Driving the Presence of Investor Sentiment written by Jiaxing You and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We read all newspaper articles to measure the pre-IPO media tone for 1,068 Chinese book-built IPOs issued from 2005-2013. We document significant and robust evidence that media tone is related to high IPO first-day returns and low long-run abnormal returns. One positive newspaper article can predict an increase of 2.38 - 9.42 percentage points in first-day returns and a decrease of 3.26 - 10.09 percentage points in post-IPO three-year abnormal returns. Further analysis reveals that high pre-IPO media tone is positively associated with first-day retail trading and retail demand in the IPO market, indicating that pre-IPO media tone can enhance the presence of investor sentiment around the IPO event. Taken together, these findings are consistent with our hypothesis that media tone can influence post-IPO prices through the presence of investor sentiment, leading to high first-day returns and low long-run stock performance.
Download or read book Market Sentiment IPO Underpricing and Valuation written by Cynthia J. Campbell and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine IPO underpricing, valuation, and wealth allocation in relation to investor sentiment, information asymmetry, and underwriter reputation. We find that underpricing is significantly higher for overvalued IPOs than for undervalued IPOs, and is positively correlated to investor sentiment. Information asymmetry is also positively correlated to the magnitude of underpricing but only for undervalued IPOs. We find no evidence of systematic over or undervaluation of IPOs based on peer firm accounting ratios. Change in market sentiment and information asymmetry is positively correlated to overvalued IPOs but not for undervalued. Better underwriter reputation leads to higher IPO valuation for all IPOs. Further, roughly 70% of the wealth from overvaluing IPOs is retained by the issuers. For overvalued IPOs with positive first day returns, we find the proportion of total overvaluation that occurs in the after market trading, i.e., wealth allocated to IPO subscribers, is negatively correlated to underwriter reputation. We conclude underwriters selectively overvalue some IPOs after observing investor sentiment and take advantage of their information to maximize the benefit for issuers and indirectly themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines whether intense individual investor sentiment leads to poor long-run IPO performance in the U.S. market. Using order imbalance for small trades on the IPO day to proxy for individual investor sentiment for IPOs issued between 1994 and 2002, we find that there is a negative relation between individual investor sentiment and long-run IPO performance for IPOs issued during the 1999-2000 internet bubble period but not for the non-bubble period. The empirical results are robust for returns measured both in event-time and in calendar-time. Our findings are consistent with existing theoretical models claiming that the negative sentiment-return relation applies when there is a large pool of bullish individual investors in a hot IPO market.
Download or read book The Phenomenon of IPO Underpricing in the European and U S Stock Markets written by Oliver Reiche and published by Anchor Academic Publishing (aap_verlag). This book was released on 2014-06-23 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Initial Public Offering (IPO) marks one of the most important events of a company. Basically, the aim is to generate maximum proceeds by selling the company’s shares to investors. However, the shares that are sold seem to be underpriced as the price significantly soars on the first trading day. Since the very first detection of this phenomenon in the United States in 1969, several subsequent studies have documented the existence of worldwide IPO underpricing. This study focuses on IPO Underpricing in the European and United States Stock Markets by outlining and discussing the following essential issues: What is underpricing in the context of the IPO? Which motivations are there and how do they impact? Is there IPO underpricing in the markets of Europe and the United States of America?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What role do sentiment investors play in the pricing of newly listed stocks? We derive conditions under which we can distinguish between sentiment and rational pricing behavior and test for the rationality of small investors demand for new stock issues using data from pre-issue (or grey ) markets in Europe. Under sentiment, the model predicts asymmetric relations between the prices at which small investors trade new stock issues in the grey market and i) the subsequent issue price set by the investment bank, ii) prices in the early after-market, and iii) the degree of stock price reversal in the long run. Our empirical results suggest that sentiment demand is presentand influences the pricing of newly listed firms.
Download or read book Pre Ipo Markets written by Francesca Cornelli and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops a model of IPOs in which book building and a grey market (i.e. a when-issued market) take place simultaneously. While book building contains information about the fundamental value of the issue and is kept confidential, the grey market reflects the opinion of retail investors and is publicly observed. We show that when the grey market price is high relative to the fundamental value the underwriter will set the offer price close to the grey market price, but when the grey market price is low, he will set the offer price based on the fundamentals. This creates an asymmetry in the issue price and the aftermarket price relative to the grey market. We test the empirical implications of the model using data from grey market prices for European IPOs.

Download or read book IPO Pricing and the Relative Importance of Investor Sentiment written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The underpricing phenomenon of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) has been widely studied across different stock markets around the world and has often been explained to be as a result of asymmetrically distributed information and ex-ante uncertainty. However, as Ritter and Welch (2002) argue to the contrary, these theories are unlikely to explain the persistent pattern of high initial returns during the first trading day as well as other features of the returns data. This paper add some further alternative explanations to the traditional theory while focusing on German IPOs during the 1997 to 2001 period and covering a sample of 410 firms. Using time series regressions the cyclical behaviour of the issue activity is examined and we report, using VAR analysis, that lagged underpricing and IPO volume influence the decision to go public. The cross-sectional regression analysis, using both censored and uncensored data, shows that the initial returns are mainly influenced by investor sentiment and demand, and less by ex-ante uncertainty, especially during the dot-com boom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich BWL - Investition und Finanzierung, Note: 1,3, European Business School - Internationale Universität Schloß Reichartshausen Oestrich-Winkel (-), Veranstaltung: Seminar des Wahlpflichtfaches Finanzierung und Banken, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The topic of this paper is the difference of venture capital (VC) backed initial public offerings (IPOs) and non backed IPOs and the share price performance of the companies after the IPO. Compared to non-backed IPOs, VC backed IPOs consist on average of younger and less profitable firms. Nevertheless, VC backed companies have better underwriters, more institutional investors and less underpricing (i.e. a discount on the initial share price due to asymmetrical information). It is therefore considered that the venture capitalist (VCist) has an important impact on the share price performance of the young firm due to his certification role. By screening and mentoring the backed venture in earlier stages of the VC cycle, he can well assess the business’ opportunities. Thus, if he invests in the venture and keeps shares after the IPO, he can proof credibility to other investors (credibility hypothesis). However, younger VCists tend to bring companies too quickly to the stock markets, because they need an IPO for building up a reputation (grandstanding hypothesis). This may be adverse to the venture. Our findings also outline that there is no clear advantage of VC-backed firms on the long-run. Thus, we conclude that it is not only important to think about a VC backing, but also about the VCist that is backing. Choosing the wrong VCist may even have a negative impact on the company’s future.
Download or read book Does Sentiment Drive the Retail Demand for Ipos written by Daniel Dorn and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individual and institutional investors can trade German initial public equity offerings on an as-if/when-issued basis before the start of secondary trading. Using a novel data set of pre- and post-IPO trades made by a sample of clients at a large German retail broker, the paper documents that retail investors both are willing to overpay and end up overpaying for IPOs, especially following periods of high returns in recent new issues. IPOs that are more aggressively bought by retail investors in the pre-IPO market or on the day of the IPO post higher first-day returns, but also experience lower aftermarket returns, controlling for firm characteristics such as size and book-to-market ratio. In short, sentiment - expectations about asset values unwarranted by fundamentals - drives retail purchases of IPOs and appears to have a transitory effect on prices.
Download or read book Firm Quality Or Market Sentiment written by Suman Neupane and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the investment decisions of IPO investors when equipped with information on both the quality of the firm and the market sentiment. Unique regulatory provisions allow IPO investors in India to have access to the independent assessment of firm quality and information on the participation of other investors, including institutional investors. At the same time, an active grey market reveals market sentiment before the application for subscription is closed. The results, which are robust to alternative model specifications, suggest that the institutional investors' decision is guided almost exclusively by firm quality while the retail investors' decision to participate in IPOs is strongly influenced by market sentiment, even in a highly transparent market where both sets of information are freely available.
