Purpose- Firms face financing problems
from time to time while operating under intense competition. Firms apply
different ways to eliminate of the financial deficit. One of the ways that
firms commonly apply is offering their shares to public. There are a lot of
issues to consider when offering to the public. One of the most important of
these issues is the price of stocks which are offered to the public.
Methodology- From this point of
view, the main goal of the study is to determine whether the pricing of stocks
in initial public offering is the optimum price or not. 19 firms data which is
offered to public in the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) between 2014 and 2016
were used in the implementation of the study. The Event Study method was used
in the analysis of the data.
Findings- As a result of the analysis,
after the public offering, the stock performance was measured and the value of
the stocks’ initial public offering prices was tried to be determined. According
to the results of the analysis, it was determined that the companies exported
their stocks at low prices in their initial public offerings.
Conclusion- The results of the
study show that there is a low pricing in the initial public offering in
Istanbul Stock Exchange, similar to the developed and emerging markets.
