We find that newly listed firms are more likely to engage in merge &amp; acquisitions (M&amp;As) and initiate more and larger-sized M&amp;As after raising more excess cash in their IPO. Additionally, this IPO over-issuance is negatively associated with the newly listed firm's post-acquisition stock performance. Moreover, Type I (principal-agent) and Type II (principal-principal) agency problems explain those relations. The negative relation between IPO over-issuance and stock performance is exacerbated for companies that have made large and industry-diversifying M&amp;As. Further analyses reveal that acquirers who raised more excess cash in their IPO prefer to pay for their M&amp;As entirely in cash.</p>","PeriodicalId":46664,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Finance","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the intertemporal investment and consumption analytical framework, a representative investor determines the optimal wealth allocation by perceiving the stock's “expected rate of return” and “regret effect” to maximize utility. The simulation results show that the expected returns present a downward convex shape with the change in regret aversion. Using China's A-share market data, the empirical tests confirm the mechanism and different bull and bear market signals. Our findings reveal regret aversion in the A-share market, and “market return” is an essential measuring indicator, which improves the consumption-based Capital Asset Pricing Model (CCAPM) empirical results by more minor pricing errors and equity premiums. Comparatively, the variations in cross-sectional stock returns during bull markets illustrate the herd behavior prevalent in the Chinese market, and the cross-sectional data observed in bear markets demonstrate a superior fitting effect.</p>","PeriodicalId":46664,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Finance","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143119092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
