Pendahuluan 1.1 Latar belakang Dalam dekade terakhir ini, semakin banyak emiten di Bursa Efek Jakarta (BEJ) yang melakukan pemecahan saham (stock split). Sampai dengan : 3 1 Desember 2002 tercatat 196 peristiwa stock split (Capital Market Directoiy, 2002). Stock split menjadi salah satu alat populer yang digunakan oleh para manajer perusahaan untuk menata kembali harga pasar sahamnya. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa stock split merupakan alat yang penting dalam praktik pasar modal. Stock split yang dilakukan oleh emiten dapat berupa stock split atas dasar satu-jadi-dua (two-for-one-stock), artinya setiap pemegang saham akan menerima dua lembar saham untuk setiap satu lembar saham yang dipegang sebelumnya; nilai nominal saham baru ialah setengah dari nilai nominal saham sebelumnya. Begitu juga jika dilakukan stock split atas dasar satu-jadi- tiga (three-for-one-stock): pemegang saham akan menerima tiga lembar saham untuk setiap satu lembar saham yang dimiliki sebelumnya, nilai nominal saham baru ialah sepertiga dari nilai nominal saham sebelumnya, dan seterusnya. Meskipun stock split tidak mengubah jumlah ekuitas perusahaan, mengapa masih banyak perusahaan emiten melakukan stock split?
