Book Description

In this thesis, I study the phenomena of initial underpricing and long-run underperformance of initial public offerings (IPO) in the Chinese A-share market. After giving an overview on existing literature and the characteristics of the Chinese IPO market, I examine a sample consisting of 196 A-share IPOs issued on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) during 2002 and 2004 and find that the average market-adjusted initial underpricing is 93.89% and that the average market-adjusted cumulative return and buy-and-hold return over the three years after listing are -20.77% and -24.07%, respectively, which are both significantly negative at 1% level. I then use a cross-sectional analysis to explain the initial underpricing of Chinese IPOs, showing that issuing companies with smaller offer sizes, lower offer prices and higher profitability have higher initial underpricing. Chinese IPO investors are also facing the winner's curse problem. The cross-sectional analysis of long-run performance shows that companies with lower initial underpricing perform better in the long-run and that long-run performance mainly depends on the operating performance of the companies. Government ownership has no significant impact on initial underpricing and long-run performance of IPOs in my sample.

Book Description

In excess of 1,500 firms have listed publicly on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges in China since 1990. With close to 20 years of unique IPO activity, China represents a rich source of data to explore the IPO aftermarket performance. The sample of this study includes 311 IPOs issued from 1999 to 2001. The period is studied because it was the most dynamic phase of IPO issues in the Chinese market in recent times after which the market subsequently became extremely volatile. The results of the study show that firms with higher initial IPO returns are valued more highly by investors, and are expected to provide superior returns in the long-run. The ownership structure has a bearing on the corporate governance of the firm and its objectives. Accordingly, the market in China values legal person and foreign ownership more than other forms of ownership and expect these to enhance performance long-term. Management ownership has a positive influence on performance as it related to State ownership, but not to legal person ownership. On the other hand, State ownership was negatively related to performance. The findings also show that the growth potential of a firm has a significant bearing on the long run performance of IPOs in China. Larger firms are considered more highly by the market in IPOs in China. A number of other variables, including aspects of corporate governance, are applied to the study and their results are reported.

Book Description

Within the global IPO market, the Asia-Pacific region has grown tremendously in importance. This paper examines the performance of Chinese IPOs listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX), where they make up for a significant part of stock market activity. Although IPO performance has been an area of vast research, hardly any research has yet been conducted on the phenomenon of foreign listings. A sample of 103 Mainland Chinese companies that went public in Singapore between 2003 and 2013 is compared to the Singaporean overall market as well as to Chinese companies listed on the domestic stock exchanges in Shenzhen and Shanghai. Among these samples, consisting of a total of 1682 new issuances, differences are identified and possible explanations given. Models of information asymmetry and market sentiment are used to explain higher initial returns on Chinese companies as their offers are accompanied by a higher degree of uncertainty. The differences in MAIRs between Singapore and China also show that the SGX is a more efficient and sophisticated stock exchange. Based on the regressions, the author concludes that the difference in IPO underpricing between the particular samples can be explained by a variety of factors, which are sometimes hard to qualify. Furthermore, the empirical evidence indicates that Chinese companies significantly underperform the overall market in the long-run. This can be attributed to the decline in investor confidence, as investors start questioning the quality of these companies more strongly.

Book Description

This study examines the underpricing and long-term performance of A-share initial public offerings (IPOs) issued in China between January 1996 and December 2004. The sample is divided into State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and non-State Owned Enterprises (non-SOEs) to investigate the difference in IPO underpricing and long-term performance between these two groups. I find that non-SOEs are significantly less underpriced than SOEs. In addition, I find that the changes in government policies do have an impact on IPO underpricing. My study confirms the results of previous studies that the long-term stock returns of Chinese IPOs is positive using a market index as a benchmark, while the long-term operating performance of these IPO firms exhibits negative changes. However, the SOE and non-SOE sub-samples do not show any significant differences in either long-term stock returns or operating performance when size- and book-to-market-matched portfolios are used as benchmarks. Finally, my findings are also consistent with the signaling theory of IPOs.

Book Description

The “China concepts stock” in the U.S. has attracted a great deal of attention among international investors due to the fast growth in Chinese economy. This paper examines the aftermarket performance and the motivations to list in the U.S. for Chinese firms over 1993-2010 by considering the great impact of split-share structure reform in China. We find that the Chinese firms in the U.S. generally underperform the benchmark and industry peers in the post-IPO period of three years. The Chinese cross-listing ADRs show superior performance relative to the single-listings in the long run. It seems that more stringent listing requirements and accounting standards help to improve the corporate governance and operating performance of the Chinese firms. The evidence also supports that the Chinese issuers are motivated to cross-list in the U.S. due to over-investment incentives, leverage effects or free-cash-flow signaling, which is consistent with agency theory and signaling hypothesis.

Book Description

We study the short-run and long-run performance of Chinese privatization initial public offerings (PIPOs), using data for 340 and 409 new issues on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges respectively, from 1 January 1996 through 31 December 1997. The average market-adjusted initial return is found to be 127.31%, and the initial returns on both stock exchanges are not significantly different from each other. The average market-adjusted buy and hold return over the three years after listing is 10.26%, which is significantly different from zero at the 1% level. We then use cross-sectional analysis to explain the long-run supernormal performance of Chinese PIPOs, and find that government ownership, the offering size and the feature of belonging to a high-tech industry are the main determinants of the long-run performance. In addition, firms that perform better in the long-run tend to make more Seasoned Equity Offerings (SEOs), and the underpricing of IPOs is negatively related to their long-run performance.

Book Description

We examine changes in operating performance of Chinese listed companies around their initial public offerings, and focus on the effect of ownership and ownership concentration on IPO performance changes. We document a sharp decline in post-issue operating performance of IPO firms. We also find that neither state ownership nor concentration of ownership is associated with performance changes, but there is a curvilinear relation between legal-entity ownership and performance changes and between concentration of non-state ownership and performance changes. Our results are robust to different performance measures and industry adjustments. These findings suggest that agency conflicts, management entrenchment, and large shareholders' expropriation co-exist to influence Chinese IPO performance, and the beneficial and detrimental effects of state shareholdings tend to offset each other.

Book Description

It is testified that there exists poor post-IPO long-run performance in many stock markets. This paper examines Chinese IPOs' long-run performance based on the data of IPOs in the Chinese stock market. In this study, the empirical methods of style matched portfolios and Fama-French three-factor model are employed. It is found that IPOs' long-run performance is better than that of matched non-IPOs in Chinese stock market, and the abnormal returns of IPOs cannot be reasonably explained by F-F three-factor model. In addition, the long-run performance of IPOs is related with their first day returns.
