“…They also suggest that we should look more broadly at the types of firms that underperform and not treat IPO firms as a different group. Studies in Australia (Finn and Higham, 1988), Germany (Uhler, 1989), and Hong Kong (McGuinness, 1993) all reported negative aftermarket performance but the abnormal returns they found did not achieve statistical significance, so this is an evidence of market efficiency in the aftermarket. Clearly, there are international variations in observed performance and further research seems warranted.…”

“…Levis (1993) reports long-run underperformance of -22.96% by the third year after the offering in the UK for 712 IPOs between 1980-1988. Aggarwal, Leal and Hernandez (1993 report three-year market-adjusted returns of -47%, -19.6% and -23.7% for Brazil, Mexico and Chile, respectively.…”

“…Much of the international evidence is summarized in Loughran et al (1994) and Ritter (2003). Australian industrial company IPO studies (Finn and Higham (1988), How et al (1995), Lee, Taylor and Walter (1996) and Dimovski and Brooks (2004a)) report underpricing costs of between 16.4% and 29.2%. It is worth noting that such costs to the firm are of course first day "returns" or "profits" to the initial subscribers.…”

“…They concluded that these PIPOs were no more underpriced than nonpublic sector IPOs. Choi and Nam compared the underpricing of their PIPO sample with the returns of private-sector IPOs calculated by Finn and Higham (1988) and Taylor and Walter (1991), whose samples related to the years 1966-1978 and 1977-1986, respectively. In a recent study, Lee et al (1999) indicated Australian PIPOs were underpriced and outperformed the market index over the long-run. The study did not compare the performance of Australian PIPOs to privatesector IPOs, hence there was no mention of the relative performance of the two groups.…”
