IPO Timing and Pricing: Evidence from Zoom

“IPO Timing and Pricing: Evidence from Zoom” thesis analyzes in detail two fundamental components of initial public offerings timing and pricing ones through the exemplification of a case study: Zoom Video Communications. The dissertation illustrates literature models developed by renowned authors such as Ritter Welch Derrien Rock and Benveniste to explain hot markets and the IPO undepricing phenomenon. I used information from Zoom’s pre and post IPO balance sheets to analyze how the economic and financial results changed after attending the going public public process. Finally I studied the filing price range trend in subsequent S-1 Amendment publications and the post IPO price trend to determine whether Zoom IPO shares were underpriced or not.
