- Ch18-1: On the day an IPO comes out, the market price can rise above offering price or fall below that price. Is it more common for the market price to close above or below the offering price on the day of an IPO? If a company’s market price rises above the IPO price, does that suggest that the company left money on the table and thus received less for the shares than it should have received? If most companies do leave money on the table, does that indicate the IPO market is inefficient? How might systematic under pricing be explained? Has the amount of under pricing been constant over time? Explain.arrow_forwardAbout Dividend Discount Model (DDM) and stock valuation, which statement is NOT CORRECT? In DDM, the risk-adjusted discount rates should be higher than the corresponding treasury spot rates. Stocks that don't pay dividend, such as, Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc., still have huge value. This contradicts DDM model. Other variables held constant, there is an inverse relation between stock prices and interest rates. By DDM, if a company is expected to never ever pays any cash in the future, its stock should be worth zero.arrow_forwardTaggart Technologies is considering issuing new common stock and using the proceeds to reduce its outstanding debt.
