Underperformance <strong>of</strong> SEOs by issue volume, 1973 to 1996<br />
The sample period is January 1973 to December 1996 (288 months). The dependent<br />
variable is the equally weighted monthly percentage return on a portfolio <strong>of</strong> SEOs that<br />
have gone public during the prior 36 months. A coefficient <strong>of</strong> -0.39 represents<br />
underperformance <strong>of</strong> 39 basis points per month. rpt - rft is the excess return over the riskfree<br />
rate on a portfolio in time period t, rmt - rft is the realization <strong>of</strong> the market risk<br />
premium in period t, SMBt is the return on a portfolio <strong>of</strong> small stocks minus the return on<br />
a portfolio <strong>of</strong> big stocks in period t, <strong>and</strong> HMLt is the return on a portfolio <strong>of</strong> value stocks<br />
minus the return on a portfolio <strong>of</strong> growth stocks in period t. The Fama-French factor<br />
returns are supplied by Kenneth French, using “research factors” with annual<br />
rebalancing, as distinct from “benchmark factors” with quarterly rebalancing. Purged<br />
(decontaminated) HML <strong>and</strong> SMB factors have been constructed after purging from the<br />
universe <strong>of</strong> firms all stocks that publicly issued equity for cash during the prior five years,<br />
or have been CRSP-listed for less than five years. The 144 months when the ratio <strong>of</strong><br />
recent equity issuers (IPOs + SEOs) to the total number <strong>of</strong> domestic operating firms on<br />
CRSP is highest are defined as high-volume markets. The other 144 months are<br />
designated as low-volume markets. The first row <strong>of</strong> each panel uses all months, the<br />
second row uses months with low-volume markets, <strong>and</strong> the third row uses months with<br />
high-volume markets. T-statistics are in parentheses.<br />
