A Study on Factors Influencing the Initial Public Offerings (IPO) in the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), India

Abstract

This study has examined the IPO performance in India from 2007 to 2013. Results show that under-pricing exists in the first day of trading during the particular period, but results show that the degree of under-pricing is dramatically decreased in comparison with what is shown in previous studies. The study finds that the IPOs are influenced by its issue variables. The face value of the shares and oversubscription subscription of the share are highly affected factor for underpriced in initial day of listing. After 36 months of listing the IPOs are underperformed by 29.06 percent and market capitalisation of the firm, issue premium of the share, face value of the share, issue price, and oversubscription of IPOs are highly influencing IPOs performance in long run. The study has considered 146 companies for identifying the factors influencing the Initial Public Offerings (IPO) in the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), India.
