Taking 917 IPO firms from the year 2006 to 2011 as the sample,this paper analyzes how investor sentiment affects stock pricing. Our findings are: 1) both market sentiment and firm specific sentiment significantly affect IPO overvaluation. Specifically,IPO overvaluation is 36% larger in higher groups than lower groups of market sentiment (63% vs 27%) ,and IPO overvaluation is 24% larger in stocks with a higher firm specific sentiment than a lower firm specific sentiment(56% vs 32%) . 2) The higher the value uncertainty of IPO firms,the larger the effects of investor sentiment on IPO premium; while the higher the speculative risk,the smaller the effects of investor sentiment on IPO premium. 3) With higher IPO premiums,stock prices will reverse gradually after the IPO.
