This research paper: A 6 page paper discussing Google's use of the Dutch auction IPO rather than the more traditional approach, for the purpose of determining whether more companies should consider using it. Google's immense success with its IPO likely rests more with the company and investors' leaves of senses in their willingness to pay for a stock with a P/E of nearly 68 than with any "magic" connected with the manner in which it conducted its IPO. The difference between Google's offer price and opening price also suggests that the pricing mechanism was not efficient. No statistician would base any firm conclusion on the outcome of a sample of two. At present that is all there is to assess, in the forms of Google and Morningstar. The auction approach may be right for individual companies, but those choosing that route should expect results more on the order of Morningstar than of Google. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
