Abstract
The purpose of this study was to empirically investigate initial public offering underpricing and to investigate the determinants of IPOs listed at Pakistan stock exchange during the period from January 2000 to December 2010. The study found that underpricing phenomenon exists in KSE 100 index to reduce the level of uncertainty between the informed and uninformed investors at the time of IPO. The sample data on 59 IPO firms was collected and Market Adjusted Abnormal Returns Model (MAAR) has been employed to measure the post-IPO performances of the new issues. The results of this study are in line with the literature on IPO anomalies stating that underwriters deliberately underpriced the IPOs to a degree of 46% on average.
