Offer Price Multiples: Second-Time IPOs versus First-Time IPOs Following Kim and Ritter (1999), we use three IPO valuation ratios: P/S, P/OIBD, and P/E, which are the offer price divided by sales per share, OIBD per share, and earnings per share, respectively.
An alternate method is to divide current share price by sales per share.
Firm-year observations are eliminated of which (1) December is not the fiscal year end, (2) stock price three months after the fiscal year end is missing or negative, (3) earnings per share data is missing, (4) beginning of year book value of equity is missing, (5) sales per share is missing or negative, and (6) the total number of common shares outstanding decreases 1/3 from the previous year as it is suspect of a reverse stock split to maneuver earnings per share.
