Abstract

In recent times, Indian Stock Market (ISM) has been witnessing a surge in the number of IPOs listed in stock exchanges. However, in many occasions it has been noticed that post-listing performance of several IPOs are below par to the expectations of the investors. IPO performance has been one of the major concerns. In this context, the present paper endeavours to carry out a comparative performance assessment of a list of IPOs. We consider a period of three years after listing. Our sample consists of a list of IPOs having heterogeneous nature of business operations and introduced in 2018. We consider two aspects of the performance such as market-based indicators and fundamental efficiency in terms of profitability, liquidity and risk. For comparison, LOgarithmic Percentage Change-driven Objective Weighting (LOPCOW) is used. The study period is considered as Fy 2020-21. The results reflect that for IPOs, market performance does not necessarily because of the fundamental efficiency. Further, we notice that the nature of equity ownership does not influence the market performance significantly. We surmise that during initial years, the performance of the IPOs at the marketplace is more driven by speculations and short-term goals of the investors. The result of validation test indicates that the ranking using LOPCOW method is comparable and consistent with a widely used model like Entropy.
