Empirical analysis reveals that larger IPOs in India experience a lower probability of delisting, and higher underpricing increases the probability of failure or becoming a target. They also estimate the accelerated failure time model to confirm previous results. They find that the survival time for IPOs in information technology, manufacturing, and finance is negatively affected.TOPICS: Security analysis and valuation, emerging, performance measurement
