Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article empirically examines the relationship between insider (entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists) trading and underpricing and long-run performance for a sample of 120 initial public offerings (IPOs) that took place on the Nouveau Marché in France during the high-tech bubble. We hypothesize that insiders were better informed than the market about the future prospect of the firms, particularly during the high-tech bubble characterized by strong information asymmetry. Trading activity was measured at the IPO date and over a three-year period after this date. We find no evidence suggesting that entrepreneurs and venture capitalists knowingly issue overvalued equity at the IPO date. However, there is weak, but statistically significant, evidence that suggests that entrepreneurs and venture capitalists acquire private information during the first years of flotation and have the ability to take advantage of it by selling overvalued equity. Both these insiders seem to be the best informed on the future value of the firm. However, changes in ownership of banks and other shareholders are not followed by significant change in the firm's long term value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1.0, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Finance), language: English, abstract: In this study I examine the case of lockup period expirations for 142 IPOs in Germany between 2000 and 2019. I find significant abnormal returns around the expiration date of lockup periods during which existing shareholders are prevented from selling their shares. Both, abnormal returns and abnormal trading volumes around the unlock day are much larger for firms financed by venture capital or private equity. These findings are robust to different market models and are not due to market microstructure effects. When examining the cause for the observed abnormal returns abnormal trading volume and company size become prominent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to profit from information about insider trading. The term insider trading refers to the stock transactions of the officers, directors, and large shareholders of a firm. Many investors believe that corporate insiders, informed about their firms' prospects, buy and sell their own firm's stock at favorable times, reaping significant profits. Given the extra costs and risks of an active trading strategy, the key question for stock market investors is whether the publicly available insider-trading information can help them to outperform a simple passive index fund. Basing his insights on an exhaustive data set that captures information on all reported insider trading in all publicly held firms over the past twenty-one years—over one million transactions!—H. Nejat Seyhun shows how investors can use insider information to their advantage. He documents the magnitude and duration of the stock price movements following insider trading, determinants of insiders' profits, and the risks associated with imitating insider trading. He looks at the likely performance of individual firms and of the overall stock market, and compares the value of what one can learn from insider trading with commonly used measures of value such as price-earnings ratio, book-to-market ratio, and dividend yield.

Download or read book Lockup Provision and Institution Investors Trading written by Po-Kai Huang and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lock-up provision conveys important information about the ex-ante risk of an IPO. Using a unique trading data in pre-IPO market and a unique data of exact days of withdrawing lockup shares, we are able to test the trading behavior of institutional investors around the lockup announce day and expiration day using a sample of 218 IPOs firms from 2005 to 2011 in Taiwan. We are able to find that the abnormal returns of institutional investors are insignificant around the lockup announce day. Second, the relationship between the net buying and selling of institutional investor and cumulative returns around announce day is insignificant. Also, the relationship between lockup ratio and institutional investor trading around, and the relationship between the lockup ratio and initial return of IPOs are all insignificant. This implies that announcement of lockup ratio carries no information.We then examine whether the trading of institutional investors around the withdrawing of lockup shares affects long term performance. We do find that there is a positive relationship between foreign institution trading and ROE for one year after IPO. It implies that the trading behavior of institution investors around lockup expiration day contains information of long term performance.

Download or read book Strategic IPO Underpricing, Information Momentum, and Lockup Expiration Selling written by Rajesh K. Aggarwal and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managers of firms going public usually do not sell their own shares at the initial public offering. Instead, they often sell a portion of their shares at the end of the lockup period. We develop a model in which the manager strategically underprices the IPO in order to maximize his wealth from selling shares at lockup expiration. First-day underpricing creates information momentum, i.e., it generates incremental comments and recommendations by research analysts, especially by non-lead underwriter analysts. This increased research coverage shifts the demand curve for the stock outwards, allowing the manager to sell shares at the lockup expiration at prices higher than he would otherwise be able to obtain. We test the model on a sample IPOs in the 1990s. We find that managerial share and option holdings are positively correlated with first-day underpricing and that higher first-day underpricing leads to more analyst research coverage. We also find that research coverage is positively correlated with stock price performance through the lockup expiration and with insider selling at the expiration of the lockup. Overall, the empirical results are consistent with the model.

Download or read book Does Insider Trading Impair Market Liquidity? Evidence from IPO Lockup Expirations written by Charles Cao and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We test the hypothesis that insider trading impairs market liquidity, by analyzing intraday trades and quotes around 1,497 IPO lockup expirations in the period 1995-1999. We find that, while lockup expirations are associated with considerable insider trading for some IPO firms, they have little effect on effective spreads. By contrast, two other liquidity measures, quote depth and trading activity, improve substantially. In the 23% of lockup expirations where insiders disclose share sales, spreads actually decline. These findings indicate that a large body of well-informed, blockholding insider traders can enter a market from which they had previously been absent, and substantially change trading volume and share price, without impairing market liquidity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the role of investment bankers and lock-up provisions in the market for new equity issues. In a sample of 1,948 IPOs, we find support for the notion that lock-ups serve as commitment mechanisms at the time of the IPO. Insiders of firms that are associated with greater informational asymmetries lock-up their shares for a longer period of time. We also find that underpricing is higher for firms that lock-up their shares for a longer period of time or lock-up a larger fraction of their shares. The average abnormal return at lock-up expiration is -1.2% and is larger for firms that lock-up a greater fraction of their shares and firms that are backed by venture capitalists. This price drop is inconsistent with rational expectations on the part of investors. Finally, we find that earnings forecasts made by both affiliated and unaffiliated analysts are more optimistic around lock-up expiration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1.3, University of Mannheim, language: English, abstract: This paper analyses the expiration of IPO-lockup periods and its affects on stock returns using event study methodology. The study focuses on 5,171 IPOs with lockup agreements in the U.S. market between 1988 and 2018. Significant differences in cumulative abnormal returns due to various firm characteristics are explored. This thesis is largely based on the paper of Field and Hanka (2001) and assesses whether the expiration of lockup periods results in abnormal returns and daily trading volume. For this purpose, an event study for 3,306 lockup agreements of IPOs over a 31-year period from 1988 until 2018 is performed. The sample is limited to the United States as the newly listed firms' domicile nation. The changes in daily trading volume around the expiration date of the lockup are also analysed. Moreover, the paper examines the length of the agreed lockup periods and whether tech firms react differently to the expiration from firms in other industries.

Download or read book Insider Trading Before IPO Lockup Expiry Dates written by Hafiz Hoque and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyse the trading behaviour of insiders before the termination of IPO lockup arrangements of a sample of 831 IPOs on the London Stock Exchange over the period 1999 to 2007. We find that the average lockup period of 365 days is significantly higher than the 180 days in the US, and large insider trading activity occurs during this period as insiders sell in over-performing and buy in underperforming IPOs. The results suggest that this early trading activity is likely to be pre-arranged with the underwriters, and that, while the sell trades can be considered as an early release following good performance, the buy trades are likely to be undertaken to support the price of underperforming IPOs. These IPOs are also more likely to have longer lockup periods, larger proportion of shares locked up, and more likely to be backed by venture capitalists. The documented negative price reaction on lockup expiry dates is positively related to the probability of early buys of insiders, not early sells.

Download or read book Venture Capital and IPO Lockup Expiration written by Bradford D. Jordan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most initial public offerings (IPOs) feature so-called quot;lockupquot; agreements, which bar insiders from selling the stock for a set period following the IPO, usually 180 days. We examine stock price behavior in the period surrounding lockup expiration for a sample of 2,529 firms over 1988 to 1997. We find that lockup expirations are, on average, associated with significant, negative abnormal returns, but the losses are concentrated in firms with venture capital (VC) backing. For the VC-backed group, the largest losses occur for quot;high-techquot; firms and firms with the greatest post-IPO stock price increases, the largest relative trading volume in the period surrounding expiration, and the highest quality underwriters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Block sales following IPOs are related to the IPOs' value relative to an estimate of intrinsic value, opening-trade return, and IPO size. Overvalued IPOs experience more block sales than undervalued IPOs. IPOs with high block sales outperform IPOs with low block sales from 20 days after IPO through lockup expiration; however, IPOs with high block sales underperform IPOs with low block sales from lockup expiration through the third year after the IPO. The results indicate that block traders are advantaged relative to other traders; whether the advantage is based on superior information or superior valuation capabilities is unknown.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this monograph is to provide an overview of the IPO literature since 2000. The fewer numbers of companies going public in recent years has raised many questions regarding the IPO process, in both academic and regulatory circles. As we all strive to understand these changes in the market, it is especially important to understand the dynamics underlying the IPO process. If the process of going public is too costly or the IPO mechanism is plagued by too many conflicts of interest among the various intermediaries, then private companies may rationally choose other methods of raising capital. In a related vein, it is imperative that new regulations not be based on research focusing solely on large, more mature firms. Newly public firms have unique characteristics, and an increased understanding of such issues will contribute positively to well-functioning public markets and further growth of the entrepreneurial sector. We also provide a detailed guide to researchers on how to obtain a research-quality sample of IPOs, from standard data sources. Related to this, we tabulate important corrections to these standard data sources.
