Book excerpt: This paper explores the impact of investor sentiment on the pricing and aftermarket behavior of IPOs. Using a model in which the aftermarket price of IPO shares depends on the information about the intrinsic value of the company and investor sentiment, I show that IPOs can be overpriced, and still exhibit positive initial return.The predictions of the model are supported by a sample of recent French offerings, in which a fraction of the shares was reserved for individual investors. Individual investors' demand is positively related to market conditions. Moreover, large individual investors' demand leads to high IPO prices, large initial returns, and poor long-run performance.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I model the pricing decision of an investment bank that manages a book-built IPO and faces a stochastic downward sloping demand curve for the firm's IPO shares. The model distinguishes between the effect of differences of opinion and valuation uncertainty on the pricing decision of the investment bank and hence average IPO initial returns. Without relying upon information asymmetries between agents, the model predicts several empirical regularities: average positive initial returns, the ubiquitous use of the over-allotment option, partial adjustment of offer prices to observable information, and extreme initial returns in a bubble. The model provides insight into the how investment banks interpret and price information. For example, news stories about the IPO firm attract potential new investors, many of which are plausibly sentiment investors. My model shows two effects of news stories on the stochastic demand curve. First, the new investors cause an outward shift out in the demand curve. Second, the new investors, many of whom are sentiment investors, increase valuation uncertainty. The investment bank raises the offer price due to the shift in demand caused by news stories, but only partially because of the increase in valuation uncertainty.
Download or read book How Stock Flippers Affect IPO Pricing and Stabilization written by Raymond P.H. Fishe and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stock flippers pose a problem for underwriters of initial public offerings (IPOs). They subscribe to the issue, but immediately re-sell their shares, so they create an artificial demand that overstates the true demand in the market. We model how underwriters set the offer price to maximize profits in this environment. Given the underwriter's expectation of flipping activity, we find that the choice of an offer price defines whether the issue is a cold, weak, or hot IPO. A cold IPO is under subscribed; a weak IPO is over-subscribed, but flippers cause the after-market price to decrease; and a hot IPO is over-subscribed but after-market price increases. We show that flippers have the greatest effect on weak IPOs, and provide an explanation for underwriter price support activities. In contrast to existing models of price support, we show that underwriters profit from after-market purchases, particularly if the issue includes an over-allotment option. The over-allotment option causes the underwriter to choose a lower offer price, which may lead to underpricing. We also show that price support combined with the over-allotment option provides a put option to the underwriter, not the market. These results are found to be consistent with recent empirical research on IPOs and price stabilization by underwriters.

This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this timely volume on newly emerging financial mar- kets and investment strategies, Arvin Ghosh explores the intriguing topic of initial public offerings (IPOs) of securities, among the most significant phenomena in the United States stock markets in recent years. Before the 2000-2001 market turndown, hardly a week went by when more than a few companies did not become public, either in the organized stock exchange or in the Over the Counter (OTC) market. In the often over-burdened, technology-heavy Nasdaq market, the role of IPOs was crucial for the market's new vigor and growth. Internet stocks were able to find a mode to supply key momentum to the market. In the so-called "New Economy" of the 1990s, it was the seductively accessible IPO that ushered in the world's information technology revolution.Ghosh sets out to examine the pricing and financial performance of IPOs in the United States during the period 1990-2001. In the opening chapter he discusses the rise and fall of IPOs in the preceding decade. Chapter 2 further delineates the IPO process from the start of the prospectus to the end of the "quiet period" and aftermarket stabilization. In chapter 3 Ghosh analyzes the mispricing and deliberately deceptive underpricing, or "flipping," of Internet IPOs. Chapter 4 delves deeper into the pricing and operating efficiency of Nasdaq IPOs. Chapter 5 analyzes the pricing and long-run performance of IPOs both in the New York Stock Exchange and in the Nasdaq markets. In chapters 6 and 7 the author deals with the pricing and performance of the venture-blocked and nonventure-backed IPOs in general and Internet IPOs in particular. In chapter 8 he analyzes the role of underwriters as market makers. In chapter 9 Ghosh discusses the accuracy of analysts' earnings forecasts. In the concluding chapter, he summarizes the principal findings of the study and the recent revival of the IPO market and its place in capital formation as well as the latest developments in t

Book excerpt: The purpose of this monograph is to provide an overview of the IPO literature since 2000. The fewer numbers of companies going public in recent years has raised many questions regarding the IPO process, in both academic and regulatory circles. As we all strive to understand these changes in the market, it is especially important to understand the dynamics underlying the IPO process. If the process of going public is too costly or the IPO mechanism is plagued by too many conflicts of interest among the various intermediaries, then private companies may rationally choose other methods of raising capital. In a related vein, it is imperative that new regulations not be based on research focusing solely on large, more mature firms. Newly public firms have unique characteristics, and an increased understanding of such issues will contribute positively to well-functioning public markets and further growth of the entrepreneurial sector. We also provide a detailed guide to researchers on how to obtain a research-quality sample of IPOs, from standard data sources. Related to this, we tabulate important corrections to these standard data sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,3, Munich Business School University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: The economical development is improving and world trade volumes are expected to recover. The recorvery process is developing constantly but slowly: Share prices have rebounded within 2009, worldwide trade volumes have recovered slightly and are expected to catch up with values from the end of 2008 during the next year (cf. OECD 2009). The world is recovering from one of the most severe economic downturns since The Great Depression. Comparing GDP volumes from the previous period at the same time, OECD countries lost up to 2%. As a logical consequence the U.S. IPO market has been affected by the economic meltdown as well. "IPO activity tends to cluster in certain time periods, thus it appears in waves, so-called hot IPO markets" (Hamer 2007, 9). From 2007 to 2008 th e number of IPOs decreased. The U.S. market broke down by more than 85% in one year. In 2007 there were 160 IPOs whereas in 2008 21 securities went public fort the first time (cf. Ritter 2010, 2). After the slowest year for IPOs since the 1970s, the market began to show signs of life again in 2009. The number of offerings increased by 21% although the offering value decreased by almost 15% (cf. PWC 2010). [...]

This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 102 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?

Book excerpt: An initial public offering (IPO) is one of the most significant events in corporate life. It follows months, even years of preparation. During the boom years of the late 1990s bull market, IPOs of growth companies captured the imagination and pocketbooks of investors like never before. This book goes behind the scenes to examine the process of an offering from the decision to go public to the procedures of a subsequent equity offering. The book is written from the perspective of an experienced investment banker describing the hows and whys of IPOs and subsequent equity issues. Each aspect of an IPO is illustrated with plenty of international examples pitched alongside relevant academic research to offer a combination of theoretical rigour and practical application. Topics covered are: - the decision to go public- legal and regulatory aspects of an offering; marketing and research- valuation and pricing- allocations of shares to investors - examination of fees and commissions * Global perpective: UK, European and US practices, regulations and examples, and case studies* First hand experience written by an IPO trader with academic rigour* Includes the changes in the market that resulted from 1998-2000 equity boom
Download or read book The Coordinating Role of Public Information in Hot Market Ipos written by Jason Draho and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper argues that two features of the new issues market, the quot;rules of the gamequot; for the way bookbuilt IPOs are conducted and the public signals generated by previous IPOs, create incentives for investors that increases the probability that an IPO becomes 'hot'. Intentionally underpricing offerings that attract strong interest makes coordination among investors desirable. A high public signal acts as a coordinating device because investors use it to form beliefs about the beliefs of other investors. An investor believes other investors will submit large buy orders in the IPO, and will choose to buy as well. During a hot market public information can dominate private, and IPOs by firms that produce low private signals can still be successful. The role of public information in coordinating the actions of investors in IPOs provides an explanation for why small changes in market conditions can lead to large volatility in the volume of IPOs. The probability of an IPO becoming hot depends critically on the IPO rules. Reducing intentional underpricing and allocating shares more equitably lowers the incentive to buy and the probability of a hot offering. The bookbuilding method may be more conducive to generating hot markets than alternative IPO mechanisms.
Download or read book IPO Pricing in Japan written by Kazuya Matsuo and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the impact of first price revision that reflects institutional investors' demand on subsequent price formation in initial public offerings (IPOs). Unique setting of the Japanese IPO process allows retail investors to observe institutional investors' preliminary demand for the issue prior to making their decisions on whether to participate in building of the order book. We provide several interesting findings. First, the results show that first price revision (indication of demand by institutional investors) is positively associated with offering and aftermarket prices including the first day initial returns. Second, we find that first price revision has significantly weaker influence on subsequent price formation in hot markets, where retail investors are more likely to take sentiment motivated trading behavior. This finding is inconsistent with the partial price adjustment hypothesis. Third, we find that first price revision is positively associated with long-run IPO performance. These results suggest that prior institutional investors participation have significant influence on retail investors' participation whereas retail investors are more likely to make irrational decisions when they are overly optimistic due to the hot market sentiment. Overall, first price revision, which largely reflect institutional investors' preliminary demand conveys important information on the quality of IPO firms to individual investors.
Download or read book IPO Market Timing written by Aydo[gbreve Alt[inodot] and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I develop a model of information spillovers in initial public offerings (IPOs). The outcomes of pioneers` IPOs reflect participating investors` private information on common valuation factors. This makes the pricing of subsequent issues relatively easier and attracts more firms to the IPO market. I show that IPO market timing by the followers emerges as an equilibrium clustering pattern. High offer price realizations for pioneers` IPOs better reflect investors` private information and trigger a larger number of subsequent IPOs than low offer price realizations do. This asymmetry in the spillover effect is more pronounced early on in a hot market. The model provides an explanation for recent empirical findings that illustrate the high sensitivity of going public decision to IPO market conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,3, European Business School - International University Schlo Reichartshausen Oestrich-Winkel, 80 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: This paper aims at establishing a link between the average level of initial return of IPO shares, existing underpricing explanations and the dot-com bubble. In years prior to the boom of the new economy, underpricing was explained by various theories, which have extensively been developed since decades. However, in the years 1998 to 2001 IPOs were overly underpriced, leading to assumptions about behavioural aspects and investor irrationality. Analysing a comprehensive dataset of 371 IPOs on the Frankfurter B rse between 1997 and 2007, this paper aims at providing evidence that the observed lower levels of initial returns in recent years can indeed be aligned with existing theories on the basis of rational behaviour of market participants. Firstly, the IPO process and its major participants will be presented followed by a review of relevant studies on the IPO phenomenon. In the next step, established underpricing theories are recapitulated. A descriptive analysis of the data sample points out the particularities concerning the company and transaction characteristics of the sample firms. In a last step, a regression analysis relates various proxies for information asymmetry to established underpricing theories. It gives reason to believe that the irrationality at the turn of the century has vanished and that underpricing can again be explained by established theories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In some countries, it is common that initial public offerings (IPOs) are preceded by forward ("when-issued'') trading of the shares; in the U.S., such trading is prohibited. We analyze the effect of when-issued trading on the pricing and allocation of IPO shares. We demonstrate that the optimal selling mechanism in the presence of when-issued trading differs qualitatively from the optimal mechanism if such trading is prohibited. Furthermore we show that trading rules in the when-issued market can be designed so that allowing when-issued trading results in an increase in expected issue proceeds.
