IPO first‐day returns: Skewness preference, investor sentiment and uncertainty underlying factors
In: Review of financial economics: RFE, Volume 23, Issue 3, p. 148-154
ISSN: 1873-5924
AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the initial public offering (IPO) first‐day returns. Our focus is to examine the irrational component of the agent behavior towards IPO lotteries. Based on 234 French IPOs performed between 2002 and 2012, we find that IPOs with high initial returns have higher idiosyncratic skewness, turnover and momentum. This finding provides empirical evidence for investors' preference for stocks with lottery‐like features and investor sentiment. In addition, we show that the skewness preference and the investor sentiment effect are stronger during periods of favorable market conditions. Our results are robust to the integration of uncertainty underlying factors.
