Abstract

This study aims to determine the volume of stock trading before and after the stock split on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The research method used a quantitative approach to verification research type. Primary data obtained from the observation of trading volume of shares. While secondary data obtained through documentation report, and literature study. This study is an event study of stock trading volume activity 5 days before and after issuers do the stock split. Data analysis was performed using nonparametric statistical test of Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed that the average trading volume activity before and after stock split shows the market tends to react negatively. The negative public perception of the stock split is due to several things, among others: (a) The stock does not have good fundamentals (overpriced); (b) Bearish market condition, as well as the unfavorable condition of the Indonesian economy, make investors unwilling to invest in the capital market. There is a significant difference of stock trading volume before and after the stock split announcement as measured by trading activity volume. However, the difference is not to increase trading volume activity, but instead lower trading volume activity.
