AbstractIPO pricing is influenced by various factors, which may or may not hold true in all circumstances. IPO pricing is fundamentally a negotiation process among the issuer, underwriter and key investors. However, after the study, a strong suggestion would be to consider regulating body’s supervision in pricing an IPO. Out of the 3 underlying theories tested, the following research study found that age and lock-in percentage are negatively correlated to underpricing. Further, this research also suggests that shareholding structure of a company heavily influences the company’s decision-making. Thus shareholding structure also affects the IPO price.
