A descriptive research design was adopted using secondary data on IPO performance and primary data collected through investor surveys. The findings reveal that while IPOs generate initial excitement and short-term returns, long-term performance often varies, with investor perceptions shaped by risk, transparency, and market trends. The study implies the need for greater financial literacy and regulatory measures to align investor expectations with IPO realities.

Mihov, 2022, Ipo Performance And Stochastic Dominance: We investigate the outcomes of initial public offers (IPOs) using a stochastic dominance technique, which enables us to capture IPO investors' preferences for higher moments of the return distribution.

Chan, Danny Meidan, 2005, Individual Investor Sentiment And Long-Run Performance Of IPOS: This research investigates whether strong individual investor sentiment contributes to poor long-term IPO success in the United States market. By using order imbalance from small trades on IPO day as an indicator of individual investor sentiment for IPOs issued between 1994 and 2002, we identified a negative correlation between investor sentiment and long-term IPO performance during the 1999–2000 internet bubble, but not in the non-bubble period.

ISSN : 2230-9578 | Website: https://jrdrvb.org Volume-17, Issue-9(II) | September - 2025 37 unattended. It is widely recognized that prevailing market trends significantly influence the interests of IPO investors, which in turn affects IPO performance. This study aims to assess the performance of 152 IPOs listed on the NSE between 2010 and 2016, focusing on both listing-day gains and one-month return evaluations. These IPOs gained an average of 11.998% of the day's listed gain, while they lost 3.78% of their one-month return. Of the 152 IPOs listed on the NSE, 63.15% of them were underpriced, while 36.84% were overpriced. 18. Siti Sarah Abdul Rahman and Norliza Che-Yahya, 2019. Initial and Long-Term Performance of IPOS. Does Growth Opportunity For Issuing Firm Matter? The success related to initial public offerings (IPOs) can be divided into at least two categories: initial aftermarket and long-term aftermarket. This study aims to investigate the impact of organizations' growth potential on initial and long-term aftermarket performance. It is critical to investigate the impact of business growth potential in both periods because investors, regardless of investment horizons, need capital appreciation in order to consistently get strong returns in the aftermarket. Growth opportunities are defined as the ability of issuing corporations to survive in periods following their listing on the stock market. Growth possibilities are determined by allocating proceeds from the issuance of newly issued shares to activities that are projected to accelerate a firm's growth. 19. Vanshika Sharma, 2024, Investors' Perception Towards Ipos Launched By Startups: This research investigates investor sentiment towards IPOs launched by startup companies. While IPOs offer potential for high returns, inherent risks associated with startups can create a cautious investor landscape. This study analyses the elements that influence investor opinion, including the startup's financial health, development trajectory, industry trends, and management team experience. Additionally, the research explores the impact of broader market conditions and regulatory environment on investor confidence in startup IPOs. Research gap:  Extensive research has examined IPO performance, investor perception, and post-listing returns, there is a noticeable lack of integrated research on how investor sentiment, startup-specific factors, and regulatory or market signals interactively influence the long-term success of startup IPOs in India. Most studies tend to focus on either perception (short-term interest), financial metrics (firm-specific data), or broad market trends in isolation.  There is limited empirical work that combines behavioural finance (sentiment, attention), firm fundamentals, and market/regulatory signals to predict and explain the long-term performance of startup IPOs, particularly in emerging markets like India. Statement of the problem As IPOs are being launched more frequently, people are seeking to invest in them to obtain higher profits for short-term gains instead of long-term investment. Before this IPOs were being purchased mostly by foreign institutional investors and other local institutional investors. The general public is unaware of the potential of IPOs, and as a result, they are passing up opportunities. Without thorough study and background work, purchasing an IPO would be disastrous. Research Objectives  To explore the motives for launching an IPO  To Examine how other aspects other than company’s performance affects the IPOs.  To analyse the combined effect of investor sentiments and regulatory environment on long term performance of startup IPOs in India. Scope of the Study  This study covers the primary market of a stock market.  This study covers the investors perception  It covers the motives of IPOs.  This study covers the passion of startup company’s performance.
