UNDERPRICING PUZZLE AT THE SCOPE OF SHARE RETURN: A CLOSER LOOK AT INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS AT BORSA ISTANBUL

Abstract

Underpricing is one of the most researched topics in the capital markets literature. It is undoubtedly important for companies to start their capital markets experience on a more solid basis, as well as for their new investors. It is a question researchers and investors have been trying to answer; whether the company can maintain this positive return on the first day in the upcoming years. In this study, 65 initial public offerings listed at Borsa Istanbul were analyzed in terms of underpricing and long-term share returns. Results show that there is a 29.5% negative correlation between underpricing and three-year cumulative return on shares. The increase in public offering rate effects the return on share positively in the first year of issuance. Contrary to the literature, it has been observed that the increase in the company age increases the underpricing in the analysis period. Interestingly, while underperformance was observed in the three-year period after the issuance, it was discovered that the share returns tended to increase especially at fourth year after offering.
