Abstract

This research aims to explore whether the proceeds, age, revenue, and underwriter rating of IPO companies affect disclosure; whether disclosure mediates the relationship between the four exogenous variables and underpricing; and whether underpricing mediates the relationship between disclosure and returns. This research uses Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) as the data processing method. Since this research examines interactions between variables, PLS-SEM is an effective data processing method. This research identifies four key exogenous variables: funds raised from the IPO, the age of the IPO company, the income of the companies prior to the IPO, and the ranking of underwriting companies. The research finds that the R-squared of the disclosure variable is 0.0037, or 3.7%, while the Q-squared of the disclosure variable is 0.0039. Meanwhile, the R-squared of the underpricing variable is 0.435, and the Q-squared of the underpricing variable is 0.456. The research also finds that higher proceeds, age, revenue, and underwriter ranking of IPO companies will reduce disclosure. Conversely, higher proceeds and age of the IPO companies will reduce underpricing, while higher revenue and underwriter ranking of the IPO company will increase underpricing. Finally, the research finds that higher disclosure will increase underpricing.
