Abstract

This article collected data on all companies listed in China from 2007 to 2019. It divided them into different sub-samples according to their different types, hoping to study the impact of IPO underpricing on the number of block holders. The final result shows that IPO underpricing in state-owned enterprises will increase the number of block holders, but this phenomenon does not occur in non-state-owned enterprises. At the same time, this article also found that state-owned enterprises will not lose money in the year of listing, but some non-state-owned enterprises will suffer losses. In addition, if a listed company can pass the review of the four major audits before going public, it will be easier to attract the attention of investors.
