FiNX Surveys 819 Listed-Company Fundraisings, Finds Sales Growth Separates Value Creators
The survey locates the dividing line after the capital raise rather than at the announcement, and singles out post-raise sales growth and alliance-partner allocations as where the outperformance concentrates.

FiNX surveyed 819 fundraisings by listed companies resolved between October 2023 and September 2026. Of the 472 cases with 12 months elapsed, 144 (31%) beat the index, and 60 posted excess returns above 50%. Disclosing that more than half of proceeds would fund growth investment barely moved the result (32% versus 30%). Companies that grew sales 30% or more in the first fiscal year after resolution outperformed at 40%, against 26% for those with declining sales.
The gap between companies that disclosed a growth-investment allocation above half of proceeds and those that did not is 2 points, 32% versus 30%. Among cases where funds went to capital and business alliance partners, 48% beat the index, 22 of 46, against 31% for all cases with an allotment recipient. FiNX compiled the data from TDnet and covers third-party allotments, share acquisition rights, convertible bonds, and public offerings, measuring excess return as share price return 12 months after resolution minus the index return over the same period. A free public edition of the report includes 10 company case studies.
