Abstract

In the realm of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), the initial day stock price return, known as underpricing, poses a considerable financial burden on capital issuers. This study scrutinizes two hypotheses regarding IPO underpricing: the general information asymmetry theory, positing that ‘underpricing’ compensates for investor uncertainty about firm quality, and the practical underwriter-institutional investor collusion, potentially explaining the recent upswing in underpricing.
