Bids and Allocations in European IPO Bookbuilding

چکیده
This paper uses evidence from a dataset of 27 European IPOs to analyse how investors bid and the factors that influence their allocations. We also make use of a unique ranking of investor quality, associated with the likelihood of flipping the IPO. We find that investors perceived to be long-term holders of the stock are consistently favored in allocation and in out-turn profits. In contrast to Cornelli and Goldreich (2001), we find little evidence that more informative bids receive larger allocations or higher profits. Our results cast doubt upon the extent of information production during the bookbuilding period.

Moreover, I find that the correlation is limited to IPOs with nonne...
متن کاملA Fully-Rational Liquidity-Based Theory of IPO Underpricing and Underperformance
I present a fully-rational symmetric-information model of an IPO, and a dynamic imperfectly competitive model of trading in the IPO aftermarket. The model helps to explain IPO underpricing, underperformance, and why share allocations favor large institutional investors. In the model, underwriters need to sell a fixed number of shares at the IPO or in the aftermarket. To maximize revenue and avo...
متن کاملInstitutional Allocation in Initial Public Offerings: Empirical Evidence
We analyze institutional allocation in initial public offerings (IPOs) using a new dataset of US offerings between 1997 and 1998. We document a positive relation between institutional allocation and day 1 IPO returns: for instance, institutions get under 60% of overpriced issues but about 75% of underpriced issues. The positive relation is partly explained by the practice of giving institutions...
