This study examines the relationship between short-term and long-term stock returns of companies after initial public offering by considering financial variables and financial and ownership characteristics of companies on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The research sample includes 4560 companies that were publicly listed on the stock exchange in the period from 2013 to 2024, which constitute a total of 4560 company-years. Econometric methods and vector regression models have been used to test the hypotheses. First, the statistical description of the data has been discussed and then various tests including ADF and PP unit root tests to examine the stationarity of the data, Durbin-Watson test to examine autocorrelation, Chow test, F test and Hausman test have been used to select the appropriate model. The results of these tests show that the main hypothesis of the study is that there is a significant relationship between short-term and long-term stock returns of companies after initial offering is confirmed. Finally, the results of this study can be generalized with 95% confidence to the entire statistical population of the study, namely active investors in the Tehran Stock Exchange.
