Apa kata Mereka ttg IPO Underpricing?
When the stock starts trading, a common reaction is that the stock price increase a lot during its first day of trading (Ibbotson, 1975)
This could for the single case signal that the market has a different view on the company, but its commonness indicates that the stock has in fact been underpriced intentionally (Logue, 1973), (Jegadeesh, Weinstein & Welch, 1993).
The level of underpricing, that is defined as the difference between the IPO-price and the closing price on the first day of trading (Ritter, 1984)
The higher the uncertainty about a firm’s true value, the higher the underpricing and in turn the higher the aggregated demand for shares as investors who knows the firm’s true value will increase their investments in an IPO (Rock, 1986).
