Companies tap capital markets to woo investors, but do returns stand the test of time and provide value for its initial investors? This gives rise to a long-standing debate on IPO pricing and performance. The paper examines if market cap size impacts listing, short and long run scrip performance. Dataset comprises of 216 companies listed at National Stock Exchange (NSE)from 2006-15. Whether final offer price from the provided price range is an effective predictor of initial and successive returns and does the listing gains offered by underpriced stocks continue in the short run and long run is analyzed. Results reveal that higher cap size fails to offer differential listing returns. It gains relevance a month post listing and its effect is witnessed till return analysis period, i.e. 3 years. Irrespective of cap size, stock sunder-perform the benchmark market index except on listing day. Issue price finalized from the price band through book building influences only listing day return. Extent of positive correlation between listing day and future returns goes on weakening before turning negative by first year.

Companies tap capital markets to woo investors, but do returns stand the test of time and provide value for its initial investors? This gives rise to a long-standing debate on IPO pricing and performance. The paper examines if market cap size impacts listing, short and long run scrip performance. Dataset comprises of 216 companies listed at National Stock Exchange (NSE)from 2006-15. Whether final offer price from the provided price range is an effective predictor of initial and successive returns and does the listing gains offered by underpriced stocks continue in the short run and long run is analyzed. Results reveal that higher cap size fails to offer differential listing returns. It gains relevance a month post listing and its effect is witnessed till return analysis period, i.e. 3 years. Irrespective of cap size, stock sunder-perform the benchmark market index except on listing day. Issue price finalized from the price band through book building influences only listing day return. Extent of positive correlation between listing day and future returns goes on weakening before turning negative by first year.
