Anotace:

Intial public offering became one of the most popular ways to acquire additional equity among companies of different size and industries. It was already documented before in financial literarture that perfromance of companies drops after they go public. Therefore this paper attempted to test and to analyze if aftermarket and operating performance declines for selected companies after they go public.Stock-price based and accounting meausures were incorporated for analysis. The perfromance decline is associated with the firm tarnsition from private into public ownership. Obtained result from analysis and hypothesis testing is discussed. Overall, results of analysis performed in the thesis are consistent with those of previous authors who suggest that the IPO performance declines in the post-IPO period.
