This study examines the relative importance of underpricing as a signal of
firm value, underwriter certification, subscription levels of shares on offer,
and uncertainty surrounding firm value on mispricing of initial public
offerings. A sample of 100 Singaporean initial public offerings (IPOs)
during the period 1998 to 2000 indicates that subscription levels of shares
on offer have the most significant impact on mispricing. This is followed by
offer price, market value and trading volume in IPO shares on the first
day of trading, and uncertainty surrounding IPO value. Underwriter
reputation appears to be only marginally influential, while equity market
conditions and industry sector effects seem to be irrelevant in explaining
mispricing. Singaporean IPOs have been selected because this is only one
of a few markets whose unique institutional characteristics and data
availability allows for such a test.
