Ipo Underpricing and Aftermarket Performance
Running head: IPO UNDERPRICING AND AFTERMARKET PERFORMANCE IPO UNDERPRICING AND AFTERMARKET PERFORMANCE IN OMX BALTIC A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of ISM University of Management and Economics in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master in Financial Economics By Kęstutis Ivanauskas May 2015 IPO UNDERPRICING AND AFTERMARKET PERFORMANCE 2 Abstract This thesis analyzes the phenomena of IPO underpricing and subsequent aftermarket performance as well as factors influencing this type of behavior of new equity issues in Nasdaq OMX Baltic during the period of 2004-2014. The aim of this analysis is to provide new knowledge about the IPO market behavior in the Baltic countries. The analysis uses descriptive statistical techniques to estimate the magnitude of the IPO underpricing, Buy and Hold Abnormal Returns method for the comparison of IPO performance to benchmark portfolios, and regression analysis for the testing of possible explanatory variables influencing IPO underpricing. It was found that new issues floated on Nasdaq OMX Baltic tended to be underpriced by an average of 7.54%. A statically significant explanatory model was created which established the relationship between IPO underpricing and factors influencing this behavior, of which proceeds raised during the IPO proved to be the strongest negative influence on IPO underpricing. Finally, while not statistically significant, it was found that after high first day returns new issues were underperforming their size matched equally weighted benchmark portfolios by -3.62% during the 1 year holding period and -0.08% during the 3 year holding period.

Herd Behavior in the NASDAQ OMX Baltic Stock Market
Herd Behavior in the NASDAQ OMX Baltic Stock Market Department of Economics: NEKP03 Master Thesis Authors: Donjeta Berisha, Agnese Pavlovska Supervisors: Hossein Asgharian, Lu Liu May 2015 2015 Herd Behavior in the NASDAQ OMX Baltic Stock Market Abstract This thesis investigates whether the stock market in the Baltic countries exhibit herd behavior during the period 2006-2014. A quantitative approach is used to see if investors show group oriented mentality in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, and in the Baltics as whole. This is further complemented with a qualitative approach. The quantitative part is based on a market wide approach. The models proposed by Chang et al. (2000), Chiang and Zheng (2010) and Philippas et al. (2013) are used as major guidelines. Apart from testing herd behavior in the Baltic markets under different market conditions, the role of the US market is examined. In addition, the impact of investors’ sentiment on herd behavior is tested. We find supportive evidence for herding formation mostly in Tallinn and Riga. Overall, Vilnius shows the least amount of herd behavior. When considering up and down days and substantial up and down days, we find mixed results. Notably, we do not find evidence of herding during the crisis in 2008. Further on, evidence suggests that investors in the Baltics are influenced by the US, but they do not herd around the US market. Deterioration of investors' sentiment is found to be related with herd behavior. Investors in Tallinn and Riga exhibit herd behavior when they are anxious about future market conditions. However, this relationship is not observed during turbulent periods. -

Digital Maturity and Corporate Performance: the Case of the Baltic States
Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity Article Digital Maturity and Corporate Performance: The Case of the Baltic States Yulia Eremina, Natalja Lace * and Julija Bistrova Engineering Economics and Management, Riga Technical University, LV-1048 Riga, Latvia * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 23 June 2019; Accepted: 7 August 2019; Published: 9 August 2019 Abstract: Enterprise digitalization is a way for companies to make their processes more efficient, to enhance their marketing strategies, and improve their competitive moat within the global competitive landscape. To see how fast Baltic companies are adapting to digitalization trend and, therefore, how good they are at keeping or improving their competitive advantage, we have developed a digital maturity assessment methodology, which was applied to the listed enterprises in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. This methodology allowed us to detect certain digital maturity trends, such as the significant growth of the attention paid towards concepts related to ‘process automation’. Further, it was clear that many companies are concerned with online business, which can be well-seen from the analyzed annual reports. Additionally, we have compared the level and dynamics of the company’s digital maturity to its financial and market performance. We have concluded that, although there is a positive relationship between several financial indicators (e.g., sales growth), it is too early to see the positive effect of digital maturity on a company’s stock performance. Keywords: digitalization; digital maturity; Baltic equity; corporate performance; total return 1. Introduction Digitalization is inevitable due to the rapid development of technologies. Today, every individual, business, and government has become a part of the new digital era [1,2]. -

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS of CAPM and FAMA-FRENCH MODEL APPLICATION in the BALTIC STOCK MARKET a Thesis Presented to the Faculty O
A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF CAPM AND FAMA-FRENCH MODEL APPLICATION IN THE BALTIC STOCK MARKET A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Finance Programme at ISM University of Management and Economics in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Finance by Jakub Gustav Vujčik Advised by Dokt. Dmitrij Katkov December 2020 Vilnius ANALYSIS OF CAPM AND FAMA-FRENCH MODEL APPLICATION 2 Summary Vujčik, J.G. A Comparative Analysis of CAPM and Fama-French Model Application in the Baltic Stock Market. Final Bachelor Thesis. Finance studies: Vilnius, ISM University of Management and Economics, 2020. This Bachelor thesis investigates two asset pricing models' applicability in the Baltic stock market: CAPM and the Fama-French three-factor model. The research aims to find and compare the relationship between the stock returns and market risk premium, size, and value factors under the respective models. The Baltic stock market presents many challenges in estimating a company's expected returns due to inefficiency and the lack of comparable peers. Therefore, one of the main objectives is to determine whether any particular methodology has a higher explanatory power. The study analyses the data of companies currently listed on the Nasdaq Baltic stock exchange with at least three years of operating history. The analysis uses the average 36-months returns of every company to estimate the betas of each factor. The adjusted R-squared coefficient of determination serves as a proxy for measuring expected returns' replication by the models. The research produces a mixed outcome. Although the adjusted R-squared measures are higher in the Fama-French three- factor model, both asset pricing methodologies have significant statistical data issues related to residuals' normality, heteroskedasticity, and misspecification.
