对市值配售发行方式及相关问题的思考

我国目前A股市场的发行管理体制,包括辅导、审核、保荐或通道等制度,很大程度上解决的都是合规性审查问题,没有解决价值判断或市场选择问题.只有发行定价以及与之相应的发行方式的市场化,才能最终解决上市公司的市场选择问题,做到依靠市场配置资源.     

IPO折价的信息不对称理论述评

首次公开募股（IPO）折价是金融市场上一种普遍存在的现象,根据面临信息不对称的对象不同,将IPO折价的信息不对称理论划分为：与发行人与投资者之间信息不对称相关的IPO折价理论、与发行人与承销商之间信息不对称相关的IPO折价理论、与投资者与投资者之间信息不对称有关的IPO折价理论和与承销商与投资者之间信息不对称相关的IPO折价理论。国外IP0折价的信息不对称理论大多是在信息经济学框架下,基于资本市场的有效性假设而提出的,即假定二级市场对股票的定价是合理的,IPO抑价是源于发行定价偏低。事实上,影响IPO折价的因素很多,而这些众多因素的动态变化决定了任何一种理论都不可能很好地解释IPO折价现象。     

当代全球IPO折价现象及理论综述

所谓IPO折价是指一个股票在首次公开发行(initial public offers)后，第一天的收盘价格远高于发行价格的现象．IPO折价现象并非是中国股票市场或新兴市场所特有的，实际上全世界的股票市场都存在此种现象，仅仅在折价程度上有所区别。表1列出了各国学对不同国家(地区)IPO折价程度的研究结果。     

国有企业IPO发行折价：基于政策信号理论的解释北大核心CSSCISSCI

IPO发行折价是企业上市的一项重要融资成本。我们发现2002～2005年国有企业的IPO发行折价比非国有企业平均高出29.95%。已有文献大多从代理成本的角度解释这一现象,本文则从政策信号理论出发探讨其原因。政策信号理论认为,国有企业较高的IPO折价是政府在私有化进程中主动向市场投资者传递的政策信号,表明维护长期股权价值的政策主张。我们发现,国有企业中政府私有化意愿较弱的公司IPO折价较高;国有企业IPO发行折价与第一大股东持股比例、公司股权控制链的长度显著负相关,这些关系皆不存在于非国有企业;此外,国有企业,特别是政府私有化意愿较弱的公司,发行后长期股权回报显著高于其他企业。这些证据都与政策信号理论一致,而不能完全被代理理论解释。     

IPO折价的影响因素——基于不对称信息理论分析

首次公开募股折价(即上市后首日交易价格高于发行价)是我国证券一级市场上普遍存在的一种现象,本文从不对称信息理论入手,将IPO折价的起因归类为因信息不对称而引起的道德风险、逆向选择问题以及优质公司的信号传递这三方面,并对相关理论进行述评,最后指出中国的IPO折价研究需要结合中国的实际国情,不能照搬套用西方研究理论与经验。     

IPO折价现象的行为金融学解释

IPO折价现象是中外证券市场普遍存在的一种现象。国内外对IPO折价问题进行了各种解释,但至今尚未形成统一的认识。近年来随着行为金融学的兴起,国外有部分学者试图从投资者心理的角度对这一问题给出新的解释,其中具有代表性的有：反应过度假说、反应不足假说和自我归因假说。投资者应以一种理性的心态评估股票的价值,进行合理的投资决策。

我国IPO定价的实证分析

新股发行(IPO, Initial PublicOffering)定价是股票发行业务中的核心环节,定价是否合理不仅关系到发行人、投资者与承销商的切身利益,而且关系到股票市场资源配置功能的发挥。判断发行定价是否合理的主要标准是,发行价的确定是否以预期的二级市场价格作为定价基础。新股发行抑价是指新股发行定价存在低估现象(Underpricing),一般证券市场上都存在这一现象,根据一个对32个国家(地区)样本区间的统计,股票上市首日平均收益率达27.86%,这说明新股发行价格和新股上市价格本身还是有所不同。从统计数据看,欧美发达国家成熟市场的新股发行抑价程…

基于非对称信息视角下的我国上市公司IPO折价原因探析

摘要：文章结合有关[PO折价的几种理论与我国IPO的实情,对中国上市公司IPO折价原因进行了研究,认为IPO发行人、承销商和投资者之间的非对称信息是造成IPO折价根本原因。另外,政府、机构投资者及新股发行制度,投资者的过度反应行为是推动因素。最后针对研究结论提出减少我国IPO折价的三项建议。     

The Underpricing of Insurance IPOs

The previous literature documents that insurance initial public offerings (IPOs) are less underpriced than those of noninsurance firms. This difference is usually attributed to lower information asymmetry for regulated firms. However, we find that once one controls for the file price adjustment insurance IPOs, both stock and mutual, are no less underpriced than other noninsurance offerings suggesting the book-building process resolves any such information asymmetries. We also find that mutual IPOs appear more underpriced than stock insurance IPOs, but this difference is related to the differences in pre-issue managerial ownership.     

承销商托市与新股折价

引言新股首次公开发行(initial public offerings,IPOs)的高初始收益率(即上市首日交易价格高于发行价格)现象自20世纪70年代以来一直是财务学界研究的一个重要领域。我国的证券市场长期以来也一直续演着“新股不败”的神话，每一次新股发行往往伴随着巨额的申购资金和上市后的惊人涨幅。……     

Allocation to Anchor Investors,Underpricing, and the After‐Market Performance of IPOs

We study bidding by anchor investors in a two‐stage initial public offering (IPO) process and document a negative, causal relation between allocation to anchor investors and underpricing. We find that anchor investors are likely to invest in hard‐to‐place offerings characterized by valuation uncertainty. We also document a positive relation between allocation to reputed anchor investors and returns up to lock‐up expiration. Our evidence provides support for information revelation and targeting specific investors’ theories of book building. Anchor‐backed IPOs earn superior returns mainly due to monitoring. Who bids in an IPO seems to matter just as particular types of bids do.     

Underpricing and entrepreneurial wealth losses in IPOs: theory and evidence

We model owners as solving a multidimensional problem when takingtheir firms public. Owners can affect the level of underpricingthrough the choices they make in promoting an issue, such aswhich underwriter to hire or on what exchange to list. The benefitsof reducing underpricing in this way depend on the owners' participationin the offering and the magnitude of the dilution they sufferon retained shares. We argue that the extent to which ownerstrade off underpricing and promotion is determined by the minimizationof their wealth losses. Evidence from a sample of U.S. initialpublic offering confirms our empirical predictions.     

Underpricing and aftermarket performance of American depositary receipts (ADR) IPOs

American depositary receipts (ADRs) are negotiable instruments representing foreign company shares traded in US dollars in the US capital market. We present comparative analyses of the pricing and aftermarket performance of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) by ADRs and a matching sample of US firms over the 1990–2001 period. Offered by large, well-known multinationals, ADR IPOs go through a detailed scrutiny, and incur significant costs, during the pre-IPO period to recast financial statements in conformity with SEC rules and the US GAAP. This mitigates the information asymmetry between the IPO firm and investors. We categorize the ADR issuing country as developed or emerging, and our sample includes several cases of privatization of state owned corporations. The analyses indicate that (1) ADR IPOs are significantly less underpriced than comparable US IPOs; (2) IPOs from developed countries are more underpriced; and (3) Privatization IPOs are less underpriced than non-privatizations. The lower underpricing of ADR IPOs persists even after differential IPO attributes, the traditional proxies for information asymmetry and, the unique characteristics associated with ADR IPOs, are accounted for. We conclude that extant literature offers only partial explanation for this puzzling phenomenon.     

Underpricing of homecoming A-share IPOs by Chinese firms already listed abroad

Many Chinese firms have pursued overseas listings in Hong Kong or US without being first listed in China’s domestic market, mainly due to the regulatory constraints imposed by the Chinese government. Some of them eventually returned to mainland China through an A-share offering to Chinese investors. This unique feature of cross-listed Chinese stocks offers an experiment field to test some of the conventional theories of initial public offerings (IPOs) underpricing. Homebound IPOs are expected to be less underpriced than domestic only IPOs that are not cross-listed because being already listed in a developed market can mitigate the information asymmetry and issue uncertainty associated with their A-share IPOs. Nevertheless, we find that homecoming A-share IPOs are still substantially underpriced, with an average market adjusted first-day return of 96.53 %. Furthermore, their first-day returns are not significantly different from those of domestic only IPOs once firm- and offer-characteristics are controlled. This is in sharp contrast to the lukewarm aftermarket performance experienced in their overseas debuts. The mean market adjusted first-day return is merely 5.35 % in their US ADR offerings and 11.63 % in their Hong Kong H-share IPOs. Overall, our results suggest the importance of local market structures and norms as influential factors of IPO underpricing.     

The Underpricing of Venture and Nonventure Capital IPOs: An Empirical Investigation

In this paper, we examine the premarket underpricing phenomenon within a group of venture-backed and a group of non-venture-backed initial public offerings (IPOs), using a stochastic frontier approach. Consistent with previous research, we find that venture-backed IPOs are managed by more reputable underwriters and generally are associated with less underwriter compensation. However, unlike other papers in the literature, we find that the initial-day returns of venture-backed IPOs on average, are, higher than the non-venture-backed group. We observe a significantly higher degree of premarket pricing inefficiency in the initial offer price of venture-backed IPOs. Further, our results show that a significant portion of the initial day returns is due to deliberate underpricing in the premarket.     

Underpricing and long-run performance of Chinese IPOs: the role of underwriter reputation

This study examines the impact of underwriter reputation on IPO underpricing and long-run performance in the China stock market over the period 2001 to 2006. This sample period is notable for the implementation of a verification and approval system that occurred during it, which provided underwriters more freedom to price IPOs. We develop two alternative proxies to measure underwriter reputation based on either the ratio of the total gross proceeds raised or the number of IPOs managed by each underwriter. We find that underwriter reputation does not affect the level of underpricing, but that the level of long-run underperformance is significantly mitigated when IPOs are managed by more prestigious underwriters.     

Underpricing, Subsequent Equity Offerings, and the Long-Run Performance of Japanese IPOs

Using data on IPOs that are issued in Japan during January 1975–March 1989, we examine the deliberate underpricing and overreaction hypotheses to explain high initial returns at offering dates. Specifically, we analyze the cross-sectional pattern of the short- and long-run performance of IPOs. The obtained results indicate that the deliberate underpricing theories which we examine are unable to explain the high initial returns on the Japanese IPOs. Furthermore, for the average of the IPOs, the empirical results are not consistent with the overreaction hypothesis. However, there is evidence consistent with the hypothesis that for a certain minority group of IPOs, the high initial returns occur due to overreactions by investors. We interpret the overall results as indicating that the high initial returns on the Japanese IPOs can be attributed to a mixture of both underpricing and investor overreaction. We conjecture that the binding regulations in Japan led to underpricing. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Underpricing of Chinese A-share IPOs and short-run underperformance under the approval system from 2001 to 2005

This paper analyses underpricing and short-run underperformance of the Chinese A-share IPOs from Mar, 2001 to 2005 when the new approval system was adopted. We find that the average market adjusted first-day return is 93.49% in this period, a more reasonable level when compared with those in previous periods in China. The findings show that underpricing in this period is significantly affected by offering mechanisms and inequality of demand and supply of IPOs. The effect of shareholder's structure is tested in the model and state-owned share's weight is shown to increase the degree of underpricing. Meanwhile, this paper analyses IPOs' short-run underpricing on their 10th, 20th, 30th trading days. It is found that most IPOs' underpricing shrinks and the degree of shrinking degrees is different across the groups categorized by offering mechanisms. Further, the underperformance of IPOs which are underwritten by more prestigious underwriters shows a comparatively lower range and is less severe in the short-run.
