Abstract

This study examines (a) the cash flow growth rate implicit by offer prices of IPOs in an emerging market using a reverse engineering DCF model and (b) the bias of implicit growth relative to the realized growth rate. We find that the estimated growth in cash flows is slightly higher than realized growth rate, which indicates that the median IPO firm is overvalued by 81% at the offering. It is observed that the estimation errors increase as a result of higher underpricing and diversified ownership. In addition, post- IPO returns are smaller for issues whose implicit growth rates are biased upward. We also find that IPOs underperform in long-run while employing a buy-and-hold investment strategy.
