The influence of people on the performance of IPO firms

Until the mid-1990s, the study of initial public offerings (IPOs) fell mainly under the purview of the finance literature. Within the last 10 years, however, management and entrepreneurship scholars have delved more into this subject area, as well. This article summarizes research examining IPO firms that has appeared in management and entrepreneurship journals, highlighting in particular the influence of individuals (namely executives and boards of directors) on IPO firm outcomes.     

中国创业板上市公司IPO盈余管理研究

本文应用修正Jones模型,对2009年10月到2011年2月创业板上市的186家公司IPO时是否存在盈余管理进行了实证研究。通过研究发现创业板上市公司IPO时普遍存在盈余管理,且盈余管理程度平均高于主板上市公司。最后,本文从监管部门的角度对降低企业盈余管理动机,提高IPO时会计报告信息可靠性提供了一些政策建议。     

大连银行可持续发展研究

本文通过对大连银行目前的现况、资产规模、机构规模、业务盈利等分析,与主要东北地区盛京银行、吉林银行、哈尔滨银行对比,发现大连银行可能存在的潜在危险和发展机会,提出了可持续发展的策略。给中国其他城市商业银行或中小商业银行的发展提供好的借鉴作用。本文认为,大连银行发展的关键,应该是以早日完成上市为核心,根据大连本地中小企业类型和需求,不断创新融资方式,才能实现经营战略可持续发展。     

我国A股IPO折价及其演变特征

从IPO折价现象本身特征及其演变规律来看,我国IPO折价率整体上呈现出一种不断下降的趋势,而IPO制度变迁与我国的IPO折价率变化密切相关。坚持IPO制度改革的市场化方向,重点修补目前的询价制度漏洞和向注册制转化是我国IPO发展的重要举措。     

投资银行声誉与上市公司IPO募资变更行为——基于保荐制下的实证分析

本文选择保荐制实施后公开发行股票融资的上市公司为样本,实证检验了投资银行声誉与上市公司IPO募资变更行为之间的关系。结果显示,投资银行声誉与IPO募资变更几率负相关,投资银行声誉与上市公司IPO募资变更家数比例负相关。这说明声誉高的投资银行所承销的公司质量较好,募集资金使用效率较高;同时也证明保荐制实施后投资银行在筛选推荐发行项目、督导上市公司方面都发挥了显著的积极作用。     

IPO定价与抑价发行治理

创业板开闸以来出现高市盈率、高发行价、高超募和高抑价率并存现象,对新股发行制度改革尤其是IPO定价效率提出了新的要求。本文通过IPO定价与股票估值之间固有区别的比较,提出了一个更为实用的估价函数,根据平价发行条件得出一个以发行前每股净值、发行比例、EPS和EPS增长率为因子的平价定价模型。必然抑价点的存在,证明特殊市场条件下以行政指导定价和市场自由化定价对抑价发行治理完全无效。进而指出治理IPO抑价是一个需要恰当制度安排、通过市场机制作用对投资情绪进行纠正、引导和培育的长期过程,并给出IPO定价市场化和合理化的几点建议。     

IPO抑价现象的成因及其制度改革

我国证券市场IP0的高抑价现象是当前证券市场风险的主要因素之一,它既对证券市场整体功能的发挥产生了不利影响,也对抑价发行的上市公司造成了利益损失,同时也对监管部门公平、公开、公正的监管原则提出了挑战.因此,认真分析该问题的成因并寻求矫正和根治的办法,是当前证券市场制度建设面临的主要任务.     

The Pricing of IPOs Post-Sarbanes-Oxley

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) imposes new requirements for firms going public. Many provisions of SOX should improve the transparency of U.S. firms going public and therefore reduce the uncertainty surrounding their valuation. We find that initial returns of initial public offerings (IPOs) in the United States have declined since SOX. Furthermore, the aftermarket performance of IPOs since SOX is significantly higher. While the expense of public reporting has increased in the United States because of SOX, the valuations of newly public firms at the time of the IPO are subject to less uncertainty and smaller aftermarket corrections.     

Do newly public acquirers benefit or suffer from their pre‐IPO affiliations with underwriters and VCs?

We examine whether pre‐IPO affiliations affect post‐IPO corporate events, namely acquisitions. On the one hand, newly public acquirers may benefit from their pre‐IPO affiliations through residual signaling value or/and resource‐related benefits. On the other hand, newly public acquirers may suffer from those affiliations when conflicts of interests arise during the post‐IPO period. Equity underwriters may have incentive to promote non–value‐creating acquisitions (Type II error), and venture capitalists (VCs) may have incentive to forgo strategically important acquisitions (Type I error). Drawing on a sample of 4,029 acquisitions made by 717 newly public firms, we find that on average the announcement of an acquisition by a newly public acquirer elicits a positive response from investors. The market views more favorably the acquisitions announced by newly public acquirers associated with prestigious equity underwriters, but this reaction becomes negative when the lead underwriter is retained as the acquisition advisor. The market reacts more favorably to acquisitions announced by VC‐backed newly public acquirers, but only when those VCs are committed to a longer lockup period. The effects of pre‐IPO affiliations on expected returns are stronger for newly public acquirers with a high intangible resource base and persist throughout the three‐year post‐IPO period (across each subsequent acquisition announcement).
