Abstract: Abstract High IPO underpricing is a major feature of China’s stock market and adequate studies of this issue have been made based on the traditional efficient market hypothesis, whereas using behavioral finance to study IPO underpricing is still a new topic. We employ 60 GEM IPO companies listed between Oct 30th 2009 and Mar 19th 2010 as samples, and analyze the impact of investor behavior on IPO underpricing based on investor sentiment supported by behavioral finance theory. According to our research, the price of the new stocks on the first day is more likely to be overestimated with higher investor sentiment, which generates a higher IPO underpricing rate.
