This dissertation aims to empirically test the Market Timing Theory (EMTT), often referred to as the "window of opportunity," within the context of the Italian Growth Stock Exchange, Euronext Growth Milan. Our research demonstrates the experimental validity of this theory within the Italian market, specifically showing that companies deciding to list on the market are showing a peak in operational performance experiencing heightened performance levels. This suggests that managers strategically exploit the peak of operational performance by entering the equity market at a favorable cost. Additionally, we conducted a broader analysis of market performance, revealing a significant correlation with the operational performance of listed companies. Our study is underpinned by a robust dataset meticulously verified and reclassified before analysis.
Questa tesi si propone di testare empiricamente la Teoria del Timing di Mercato (EMTT), spesso indicata come "window of opportunity", nel contesto del Mercato Italiano dei Titoli di Crescita, Euronext Growth Milan. La nostra ricerca dimostra la validità sperimentale di questa teoria nel mercato italiano, mostrando specificamente che le aziende che decidono di quotarsi in borsa mostrano un picco nelle prestazioni operative, con livelli di prestazioni molto elevati rispetto agli altri anni. Ciò suggerisce che i manager sfruttano strategicamente il picco delle prestazioni operative entrando sul mercato azionario a un costo favorevole. Inoltre, abbiamo condotto un’analisi più ampia delle performance di mercato, rivelando una correlazione significativa con le performance operative delle aziende quotate. Il nostro studio è supportato da un dataset robusto accuratamente verificato e riclassificato prima dell’analisi.

Abstract
This dissertation aims to empirically test the Market Timing Theory (EMTT), often referred to as the "window of opportunity," within the context of the Italian Growth Stock Exchange, Euronext Growth Milan. Our research demonstrates the experimental validity of this theory within the Italian market, specifically showing that companies deciding to list on the market are showing a peak in operational performance experiencing heightened performance levels. This suggests that managers strategically exploit the peak of operational performance by entering the equity market at a favorable cost. Additionally, we conducted a broader analysis of market performance, revealing a significant correlation with the operational performance of listed companies. Our study is underpinned by a robust dataset meticulously verified and reclassified before analysis.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
