Abstract

We study the impact of time-varying lottery demand on first-day returns and the poor long-term performance of IPOs. Lottery demand – measured in terms of option-implied probability weighting – is associated with significantly higher first-day returns, tantamount to higher IPO underpricing and more money left on the table. Interacting the time variation in lottery demand with cross-sectional expected skewness reveals that IPO returns are particularly driven by the interaction between market-wide lottery demand and asset-specific lottery characteristics. When expected skewness meets low lottery demand, there is virtually no effect of skewness on first-day returns. In the long run, IPOs issued in high lottery demand regimes are more likely to perform poorly for up to five years after the IPO.
