8、fore any dividends are paid to common stock holders, and which takes precedence over common stock in the event of a liquidation. Like common stock, preferred stocks represent partial ownership in a company, although preferred stock shareholders do not enjoy any of the voting rights of common stockho
9、lders. Also unlike common stock, a preferred stock pays a fixed dividend that does not fluctuate, although the company does not have to pay this dividend if it lacks the financial ability to do so. The main benefit to owning preferred stock is that the investor has a greater claim on the companys as
10、sets than common stockholders. Preferred shareholders always receive their dividends first and, in the event the company goes bankrupt, preferred shareholders are paid off before common stockholders. In general, there are four different types of preferred stock: cumulative preferred, non-cumulative,

19、 the firm commitment contract the underwriter guarantees the same of the issued stock at the agreed-upon price. For the issuer, it is the safest but the most expensive type of the contracts, since the underwriter takes the risk of sale.1 In the best efforts contract the underwriter agrees to sell as
20、 many shares as possible at the agreed-upon price. 1 Under the all-or-none contract the underwriter agrees either to sell the entire offering or to cancel the deal. 1 Stand-by underwriting, also known as strict underwriting or old-fashioned underwriting is a form of stock insurance: the issuer contr

The
23、investment bank (or underwriter) acts as principal rather than agent and thus actually “goes long“ in the security. The bank negotiates a price with the issuer (usually at a discount to the current market price, if applicable). The advantage of the bought deal from the issuers perspective is that th
24、ey do not have to worry about financing risk (the risk that the financing can only be done at a discount too steep to market price.) This is in contrast to a , where the underwriters have to “market“ the offering to prospective buyers, only after which the price is set. The advantages of the bought
25、deal from the underwriters perspective include: Bought deals are usually priced at a larger discount to market than fully marketed deals, and thus may be easier to sell; and The issuer/client may only be willing to do a deal if it is bought (as it eliminates execution or market risk.) The disadvanta
26、ge of the bought deal from the underwriters perspective is that if it cannot sell the securities, it must hold them. This is usually the result of the market price falling below the issue price, which means the underwriter loses money. The underwriter also uses up its capital, which would probably o

The average first day return in the United States is 18.3%.,30,Equity IPO Puzzles (contd),Underpricing The underwriters benefit from the underpricing as it allows them to manage their risk. The pr
35、e-IPO shareholders bear the cost of underpricing. In effect, these owners are selling stock in their firm for less than they could get in the aftermarket.,31,Figure 23.3 International Comparison of First Day IPO Returns,32,Equity IPO Puzzles (contd),Underpricing Although IPO returns are attractive,
36、all investors cannot earn these returns. When an IPO goes well, the demand for the stock exceeds the supply. Thus the allocation of shares for each investor is rationed. When an IPO does not go well, demand at the issue price is weak, so all initial orders are filled completely. Thus, the typical in
37、vestor will have their investment in “good” IPOs rationed while fully investing in “bad” IPOs.,33,Equity Cyclicality of IPOs,The number of issues is highly cyclical. When times are good, the market is flooded with new issues; when times are bad, the number of issues dries up.,Figure 23.4 Cyclicality
38、 of Initial Public Offerings in the United States, (19752004),35,Equity Costs of Issuing an IPO,A typical spread is 7% of the issue price. By most standards this fee is large, especially considering the additional cost to the firm associated with underpricing. It is puzzling that there seems to be a
39、 lack of sensitivity of fees to issue size. One possible explanation is that by charging lower fees, an underwriter may risk signaling that it is not the same quality as its higher-priced competitors.,36,Figure 23.5 Relative Costs of Issuing Securities,37,Equity Long-Run Underperformance,Although sh
