- An IPO has four major effects on the stock market.
- First, the financing color of the stock market has been strengthened. Although the stock market that cannot achieve financing is not a sound market, it should be treated differently for a market that has long placed too much emphasis on financing. According to statistics, the financing of the A-share market in the past 10 years is 1.76 times the cash dividend. Although the market has seen a decline in the amount of IPO financing in the past two years, the phenomenon of refinancing has continued to rise. In the first ten months, the amount of refinancing reached 2.81 times the amount of IPO. About 46 listed companies have issued refinancing plans. It is expected that the blood draw will reach 107.3 billion yuan. It is worth mentioning that the market has picked up slightly, and some large refinancing households have started to carry out cash-back activities. For example, on the 27th of this month, Ping An (601318) of a convertible bond fundraising plan not exceeding 26 billion yuan was approved. Some time ago, the 20 billion convertible bonds issued by Minsheng Bank (600016) were also approved. Facing such a market with a low dividend yield, the phenomenon of financing frequently appears. What is the appeal of A shares? If the IPO restarts, it will only push the financing phenomenon of A shares to a new climax.
- Second, it hurts investors' investment confidence. The stock market must go down! With the successive introduction of bearish policies, investors' shareholding confidence will also decline.
- Third, the nature of value investment has been distorted. The reopening of the IPO will inevitably involve many issues, such as the "three high phenomenon" of stocks, and fraudulent behaviors of some companies seeking to go public. Assume that a company's PE value before listing is about 15 times, and the company's net profit will increase at a rate of 30% in the next three years. In other words, shareholders hold a PE of about 15 times for a long time, and can still get a good yield in the future. However, after the stock was listed, it was heated up, and the PE value soared to 50 times, which seriously overdrawn the company's growth expectations. At this time, shareholders choose to buy and hold for a long time, the probability of loss is quite large. Therefore, in the absence of strict supervision, the IPO restart has also distorted the nature of value investment to a certain extent.
- Fourth, it promotes key issues such as benefit delivery. Talking about this, we can easily associate the four major auxiliary institutions of the IPO, namely securities companies, law firms, accounting firms and IPO consulting agencies. From the perspective of subdivision work, securities companies are mainly responsible for the underwriting of securities issuance, checking the public offering documents, and issuing sponsorship opinions, etc .; law firms mainly issue legal opinions on legal issues related to issuance and listing; and accounting firms are mainly targeted at enterprises. Professional opinions such as financial and profit expectations; and IPO consulting agencies provide services on corporate financing services and the introduction of strategic investors. Taking the institution responsible for securities issuance and underwriting as an example, the underwriting expenses belong to the main interests of the institution. That is to say, the higher the underwriting fee, the greater the benefit the organization will receive. According to the data, the underwriting expenses of the main board and small and medium-sized board markets are about 5%, while the underwriting expenses of GEM companies' IPOs are about 3% of the total fundraising amount. If the institution achieves the over-raising phenomenon of the enterprise in some way, the underwriting fees obtained by the institution will increase accordingly, and the benefit transmission will occur accordingly. In addition, the phenomenon of "rent-seeking" in the stock market also causes the above problems to gradually worsen. There is even a phenomenon, such as that some companies do not meet the conditions for listing, but successfully IPO through some unknown means, and finally achieve the purpose of ringing money and so on.
