Summary: | Drawing upon risk-return and signaling literature, this paper tests the relationship between Initial Public Offering (IPO) risk disclosed in the prospectus and its offer price and initial market returns. Based on 210 samples of IPOs offered in Malaysian stock market during the period 1999-2004, weighted least-square regression analysis (book value of the company after the IPO as weight) has been applied. The results indicate that the prospectus does provide risk information that reflects offer price and initial market returns. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] |
