SPAC first-day returns in the U.S. 2003-2020

Published by Jennifer Rudden, May 7, 2021
In 2020, the popularity of special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) exploded in the United States and the average initial return was also higher than in recent years. Initial return is the percentage value difference between the IPO offer price and the first-day market price. The mean initial return was 1.6 percent in 2020, up from 0.6 percent in the previous year. SPACs raised record levels of capital in 2020 - a trend which is likely to continue into 2021.
