Abstract

This paper examines the operating performance of Malaysian Initial Public Offerings. Overall, we find that the operating performance declines after being listed in stock market. The listing causes a decline in profitability, sales growth and efficiency, and shows significant increase for leverage and sales volume. We then explore the relationship between IPOs’ underpricing and post-issue operating performance and find the underpricing is insignificant in explaining the post-issue operating performance. Using a crosssectional analysis, we examine the relation between post-issue performance and the long-run market returns of Malaysian IPOs. The results show that investors evaluate the fundamentals of the firms by studying the accounting measures when they make their investment decisions.
