Abstract
The present study examines the short-term performance of 64 listed Initial Public
Offerings (IPOs) in Pakistan’s stock exchange for the period of January 2009 to June
2018. The present study has employed six explanatory variables to examine the
determinants of underpricing for the 1
st, 7th, 15th and 30th trading day. These are the offer
price, offer volume, investor sentiment, hot and cold issues, executive directors and nonexecutive directors. The findings show that in the short term, only two determinants, the
offer price and issue size, indicate a significant effect on the underpricing of the IPO
respectively. The results show that on a listing day, underpricing is 45.6% and if the
investor holds shares till the end of the 30thtrading day, they can earn abnormal returns
of 51.48% respectively. The study implicates that on average, IPOs are under-priced in
Pakistan, and the degree of underpricing varies according to the number of trading days.
