Abstract/Description:
In my paper, I extended Aggarwal, Bhagat and Rangan's "The Impact of Fundamentals on IPO Valuation". I examine IPO valuations over three time periods: 2002-2006, 2007-2011 and 2012-2016. In these time periods, I analyze the first day returns these firms experience along with testing the significance of four variables on their valuations: Total Assets, Previous Year's Sales, Previous Year's R&D Expense, and Sales-to-Assets Multiple. The results point to a shift in valuation tactics from valuing in line with investors' expectations in the early years to undervaluing them in more recent years. Also, Sales and R&D have statistical significance for firm's valuations over recent years while Total Assets remains constant and the Sales-to-Assets multiple does not have significance.
