Determinants of the long-term performance of initial public offerings (IPOs) in the port industry
HighlightsDeterminants of long-term aftermarket performance of port-related IPOs are investigated.Predictive role of firm characteristics, transaction features, macro-economic variables is tested.Port-related IPOs experience heterogeneous performance in their first trading day.IPOs experience poor long-term aftermarket performance (in terms of BHARs and CARs).Financial markets, institutional factors, industry-specific variables, hold explanatory power.
AbstractMarket players active in the port industry deploy a range of financial sources to meet the growing investment requirements in port infrastructure and to fund their (overseas) expansion strategies. Recent empirical evidence shows that equity capital markets are expected to extend their role in this regard.This paper deals with the long-term performance of IPOs in the seaport industry as a strategic financial dimension for determining the success/failure of the issuance. The study goes beyond general finance theories on IPO performance as it places institutional theory side by side with informational asymmetry theories and symmetric information theories to assess the determinants of long term IPOs’ success in the port domain.The paper presents an overarching conceptual framework for addressing IPO performance, thereby focusing on the explanatory power of “financial markets”, “institutional factors” and “industry specific variables”. An ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis is performed on a dataset of over 90 port-related IPOs to test the antecedents of the long-term performance of port-related IPOs.The performance of extant IPOs is expected to influence both the capacity of ports and terminal operating companies to gather additional financial resources from equity capital markets in the future, and the related cost of funding. In addition, it may shape the attitude of private investors toward this equity asset class.
