IPO watchers at odds on Nymex pricing
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Analysts in the market for initial public offerings were mixed on whether bankers for the moon-shot IPO from Nymex Holdings Inc. was priced too low.
Joint book-running managers J.P. Morgan (JPM) and Merrill Lynch (MER) priced the deal at $59 a share.
It opened at $120 and rose to $134.75 in the open market, in the biggest first-day gain in six years by a U.S.-based offering.
The pricing came in above the expected range of $54 to $57 a share, which had been raised from $48 to $52 a share.
If the Nymex (NMX) IPO was priced at $135 a share, the company would have raised $878 million, or nearly $500 million more than its actual IPO proceeds of $383 million.
David Menlow of IPOfinancial.com said that the pricing reflected a difficult balancing act by the underwriters between serving the company and fueling a healthy aftermarket demand for the stock.
Bankers work under an unspoken protocol to discount IPOs to encourage buying in the open market, according to Menlow.

ссылку дать не могу, ибо статьи нет в открытом доступе.
домашнее задание: понять, кто положил в карман 400 mil., если наймекс получил бабло из расчёта по 59, а рынок открылся по 120.
вывод: хочу работать андеррайтером.
замечательно, что аналисты до сих пор "mixed" по поводу того, были ли занижены акции наймекса.
