Industry Clustering in Nordic Initial Public Offering Markets

International Review of Finance, 2006, vol. 6, issue 1‐2, 25-41

Abstract: We present institutional features of the Nordic initial public offering (IPO) markets and relate initial return, long‐run performance and size of companies listed during 1991–2002 to industry clustering and level of listing requirements. High industry clustering is related to higher initial return and lower long‐run performance supporting our prediction that information asymmetry has an impact on initial underpricing while temporary overvaluation affects long‐run performance. The relatively high listing requirements and targeting of the main market have not protected the Nordic IPOs from poor long‐run performance. On two markets, Norway and Denmark, IPOs outperform the all share market index.
