Aftermarket Performance

The price appreciation (or depreciation) in IPOs is measured from the offering price going forward. However, some investors also track returns from the first day close in order to get a better benchmark of IPO performance. While investors often need allocations to capture first-day returns, aftermarket performance is available to anyone.
