However, there is now a fairly large body of empirical evidence, including the studies of Ritter (1991), Speiss and Affleck-Graves (1995), Loughran and Ritter (1997), Graham and Harvey (2001), Gompers and Lerner (2003), and Burch, Christie, and Nanda (2004), that documents the prevalence of firms scheduling their equity issuances when stock market conditions are favorable to obtain "cheap equity funds." This stream of research suggests that firms may not always issue securities to satisfy immediate financing needs but may instead issue equity at a time when share prices are high (compared with either the price of other forms of capital or with the underlying value of the finn) simply to exploit the relatively cheap cost of equity financing.
