Financial Performance Factors Influencing Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Companies in Indonesia

Abstract

This study aimed to obtain empirical evidence regarding the effect of net asset value, return on assets, return on equity, earnings per share, net income, and price earnings ratio of the IPO offering. Initial Public Offering (IPO) is another option for companies to get funding. With an IPO, the company's business form changes to go public. Companies going public require large funds to fund the company. The independent variables in this study are net asset value, return on assets, return on equity, earnings per share, profit after tax, and price earnings ratio. While the dependent variable is the IPO offering price. This research was conducted by collecting data from 86 companies that conducted an IPO on the Indonesia Stock Exchange within a period of 2 years (2021)(2022). The results of this study explained that net asset value has a positive effect on the IPO offer price. Return on assets has a negative effect on the IPO offer price. Earnings per share has a positive effect on the IPO offer price. Profit after tax has no effect on the IPO offer price. Price earnings ratio has a positive effect on the IPO offer price. Return on equity has a positive effect on the IPO offer price. The control variables (offer price and age of the firm) have no effect on the IPO offer price. The implication of this research is to provide financial managers with information regarding financial performance that can affect the offering price of shares at the time of the IPO which aims to reduce speculative failures and can create shareholder wealth. For investors, investors should choose companies that have high earnings per share and high return on assets.
