Underpricing

Describing a situation in which a company prices an IPO lower than its market value. This results in the company raising less capital in the IPO than it could have raised. There is no definite way to determine if a stock issue is underpriced until it is too late and the price of the first secondary trade is much higher than the IPO.

underpricing

The pricing of a new security issue at less than the prevailing price of the same security in the secondary market. Underpricing helps ensure a successful sale.
