IPO Pricing Underpricing Overpricing
“IPO phenomenon” Market First day of trading (avg = +16.4%) Three years after IPO(avg = -27.4% compared to mkt) IPO
IPO Underpricing and DisclosureJAMES C. SPINDLERUniversity of Southern California Law School (May 2009) Using a unique data set, I find that U.S. IPO prospectus disclosure dramatically affects the degree of first day underpricing of the new issue, consistent with theories of underpricing as caused by informational asymmetry. In particular, a 1 standard deviation increase in positive prospectus disclosure is associated with almost a third reduction in first day underpricing. Further, this may derive from disclosure-related litigation risk: an increase in negative prospectus disclosure is associated with an increase in subsequent IPO-related lawsuits, which suggests that less positive (or more negative) disclosure is a reaction to litigation risk.
