Abstract: To support the development of high-tech industries, the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market was launched on July 22, 2019. Due to the China-US trade war, which is essentially a technological war, there is a more urgent need for China to have technological innovation and the evolution of science and technology to rejuvenate the nation. Chinese government implements various policies to benefit the development of small and medium-sized innovation and technology companies listed on the STAR Market. This paper tests the promotion effect of IPOs in operating revenue using a sample of 68 listed companies in the STAR Market. The ordinary least squares regression is performed to analyze data with some controlling variables to exclude the effects of some other factors including momentum, capital structure, size, etc. We find common patterns of the leverage level and the pre-IPO revenue growth among sample SMEs. Our results over the period 2016-2020 evidence that the IPO might not be a significant explanatory factor for those listed firms’ revenue growths.
