In search of the explanation of the long term IPO performance
Journal Title: Zarządzanie i Finanse - Year 2013, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Many empirical studies in recent years have tried to evaluate the effect of initial equity issues on the long-run price behavior. The vast number of research results suggests the existence of long-term underperformance after IPO, although the results are very differentiated. The research shows that the possible explanations of the underperformance are mixed. One of them is based on the divergence of opinion hypothesis and concerns behavioral explanations. It re-lates to the hot market thesis, the market-timing thesis or window-dressing problem. Next, the signaling hypothesis aims to explain the long-term returns. Underpricing is viewed as a discount that is offered in order to signal the com-pany value and the firm will recoup this loss during seasoned offering. Finally, the negative reaction after IPO can be seen as a mistake during the evaluation process which is in line with many statistical questions that have been pointed out so far. The final answer to the problem of the long-term market reaction after IPO requires comprehensive empirical studies.
