  • 1.  IPO Data

    Posted 03-19-2011 12:32



    Dear Guclu--

    Getting a list of IPOs should be no problem (e.g., http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3024-ipowatch.html and http://www.wikinvest.com/wiki/Initial_Public_Offering_(IPO).

    You can then go to http://finance.yahoo.com, input either the ticker or the firm's name next to Get Quotes, hit Enter, then click on Historical Prices. From there, you can get daily, weekly, etc., closes - your choice. I believe that each data point you said you wanted is accessible there. You can also Download to Spreadsheet from the link below the table.

    Hope this helps.

    CRSP Database


    Dear Colleagues,
     
    Does anybody know if I can get opening prices and closing prices for IPO firms from CRSP (to calculate underpricing)? If so please tell me how. I also like to learn the closing prices for the first week, first month, six months, and first year. Your help is appreciated.
     
    Best regards,
