Abstract

We study the impact of institutional and retail investor sentiments on first day and long-term IPO return using a sample of Chinese IPOs. The mandatory disclosure of institutional investor bidding information in the book-building process allows us to directly separate institutional investor sentiment from those of retail investors’. Our findings suggest: (1) both institutional and retail investor sentiments are positively correlated with the first day IPO return; and (2) only retail investor sentiment is negatively correlated with long-term IPO performance.
