The study explores the phenomenon of underpricing in IPOs, with a focus on companies backed by private equity and venture capital. Using a sample of 2479 IPOs that took place between 2003 and 2023 on the Nasdaq and NYSE exchanges, the study shows that companies backed by private equity or venture capital exhibit significantly higher levels of underpricing than non-sponsored companies, confirming the "grandstanding" hypothesis. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the presence of a secondary offering is associated with higher underpricing, but in companies backed by private equity this effect is attenuated, suggesting a "certification" role.
Lo studio esplora il fenomeno dell'underpricing nelle IPO, con particolare attenzione alle società supportate da private equity e venture capital. Utilizzando un campione di 2479 IPO avvenute tra il 2003 e il 2023 sulle borse Nasdaq e NYSE, lo studio evidenzia come le società sostenute da private equity o venture capital presentino livelli di underpricing significativamente superiori rispetto a quelle non sponsorizzate, confermando l’ipotesi di “grandstanding”. Inoltre, l'analisi mostra che la presenza di un'offerta secondaria è associata a un maggiore underpricing, ma in società sostenute da private equity questo effetto è attenuato, suggerendo un ruolo di “certificazione”.

Abstract
The study explores the phenomenon of underpricing in IPOs, with a focus on companies backed by private equity and venture capital. Using a sample of 2479 IPOs that took place between 2003 and 2023 on the Nasdaq and NYSE exchanges, the study shows that companies backed by private equity or venture capital exhibit significantly higher levels of underpricing than non-sponsored companies, confirming the "grandstanding" hypothesis. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the presence of a secondary offering is associated with higher underpricing, but in companies backed by private equity this effect is attenuated, suggesting a "certification" role.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
