Purpose: The principal purpose of this paper is to examine whether there exist any differences in long-term performance between buyout-, venture capital-, and non-backed IPOs. This paper discusses if the different issuers could theoretically have any impact on long-term IPO performance. Further, the paper's purpose is to describe the capital structure’s influence on long-term performance.
Methodology: This paper uses a quantitative methodology with a hypothetical-deductive method. In order to investigate the effect of independent variables, on the long-term stock performance, data was collected.
Theoretical perspectives: The foundation for this paper is previous research examining the impact of different sponsors on long-term performance on Nordic IPOs.
Empirical foundation: The paper consists of 193 IPOs- 20 venture capital-, 62 buyout-, and 111 non-backed IPOs. Data is collected from the Nordic stock market between 2006 and 2016.
Conclusions: The result confirmed a significant relationship between buyout-backed IPOs and long-term abnormal returns. No evidence of a statistically significant relationship between venture capital-backed IPOs and long-term abnormal performance was found. Furthermore, this paper found that the level of debt-to-equity had a significant impact on long-term abnormal returns. (Less)
