Analiza wykorzystania funduszy pozyskanych w trakcie debiutu giełdowego przez spółki notowane na Giełdzie Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie

In connection with literature reports that the long-term return on the IPO is lower than the stock indexes, this paper analyzes both the size of the capital obtained from stock and the directions of its investment. The findings of the analysis are pessimistic. Firstly, during the debut the companies raise a lot of capital thus multiplying the equity, which raises the question whether their investment programs are able to absorb such large amounts of capital. Secondly, in the second year after the debut the most popular investment trends are short-term investments and other current assets, which indicates bad investment programs of debuting companies.
