Frequently Asked Questions

What is an IPO 'pop'?

An IPO "pop" refers to the increase in a company's stock price on its first day of trading compared to its initial public offering (IPO) price. This happens when there is high demand for the stock in the open market.

Why do many IPOs drop below their initial price?

Initial excitement and limited float can artificially drive up the price on day one. Over the first year, lock-up periods expire (allowing insiders to sell) and the company must prove its valuation through earnings reports, which often brings the price back to fundamental realities.

How is the return calculated?

The return from IPO is calculated based on the original IPO pricing, not the first-day opening or closing price on the secondary market. This represents the return for institutional investors who were allocated shares at the offering price.

Methodology

This study tracks recent Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) on major US exchanges. Data is sourced from public financial records and market data providers. The "First Day Return" represents the percentage difference between the IPO pricing and the closing price on the first day of trading. The "Return from IPO" is calculated using the most recent available closing price against the original IPO price. Calculations do not account for dividends, stock splits, or inflation. Missing data indicates that the security has not yet begun regular trading or pricing data was unavailable at the time of aggregation.
