Profit seeking companies meaning that the company’s goal is to maximize share holder’s value and company’s profit. In order to do so, one of the ways to finance the company’s business activities is by doing Initial Public Offering (IPO) meaning that the company lists their share through capital market. Parties involved in IPO are the company itself, investor, underwriter and the market regulator. The settlement price of shares listed in IPO is very important to the company because it determines whether the IPO will success or fail, and each party’s interest would affect the settlement price process. The purposes of doing IPO are to gain additional capital from public or external investor, and to expand the company’s business capacity. It provides accsess to public equity capital so may lower the cost of funding the company’s operations activities, but at the same time the company acquires new obligations in the form of transparency and disclosure requirements. IPO has interested many financial economists both local and international for many decades and a large body of empirical studies has confirmed the finding that IPO tends to be under-priced and it is costly for the firm’s owner. Underpricing in IPO meaning that the IPO price set in the primary market is lower than the price set in the secondary market for the same particular stock. There were 31 companies that executed IPO in Indonesia in the 2004-2006 periods to be analyzed in this research. The objectives of this research are to find the evidence of IPO underpricing tendencies, or any other tendencies (par-pricing or overpricing) in the short-run observation (up to 3 months) by using abnormal return on stocks approach and analyze the findings with capital market theories. The results from one sample t-test hypothesis testing is that the undepricing tendencies did occur in Indonesia IPOs in the 2004-2006 period for the first day trading, first week up to the fourth week, but did not occur in the third month trading (par-pricing, meaning that the IPO price did set at the right price). The return and the risk of holding particular within the observation period are also explained, so may this research could be used as guidelines in protecting each party’s interests that involved in IPO process. Due to several limitations in doing this research, the recommendation for the next researches is to do further studies in order to obtain more depth understanding, explanations based on the underlying theories and more precise results. Keywords; IPO, underpricing, par-pricing, overpricing.

Perusahaan yang berbasis bisnis adalah perusahaan yang bertujuan untuk memaksimalisasi nilai dari pemilik perusahaan dan mencari keuntungan yang sebesar-besarnya. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, salah satu cara yang bisa ditempuh perusahaan untuk membiayai proyek-proyeknya adalah dengan melakukan Initial Public Offering (IPO) yaitu dengan menjual sahamnya atau kepemilikannya di pasar modal. Dalam kegiatan ini pihak-pihak yang terlibat adalah perusahaan itu sendiri, investor atau penanam modal, underwriter, dan regulator pasar modal. Harga penentuan pada saat IPO oleh pihak-pihak tersebut menjadi sangat penting karena akan menentukan apakah IPO tersebut bisa dikatakan berhasil atau tidak, dan yang tentunya akan mempengaruhi kepentingan-kepentingan pihak-pihak terkait. Tujuan perusahaan melakukan IPO adalah untuk memperoleh tambahan modal dari publik dan investor luar, dan juga untuk bisa memperluas kapasitas bisnisnya. Dengan IPO, perusahaan akan memperoleh akses ke modal dari masyarakat luas yang bisa menurunkan biaya pendanaan dan investasi, tetapi sekaligus memperoleh kewajiban-kewajiban selayaknya sebagai perusahaan terbuka. Topik IPO sudah lama menarik perhatian dari para peneliti di bidang ekonomi dan keuangan, dan banyak hasil penelitian yang menyatakan bahwa harga IPO cenderung di bawah harga yang seharusnya atau harga pasaran yang merugikan bagu pihak perusahaan tersebut. Hal itu berarti bahwa harga saham pada saat IPO di pasar perdana lebih rendah dari pada harga saham untuk perusahaan yang sama yang dijual pada pasar kedua (bursa umum). Di Indonesia terdapat 31 perusahaan yang melakukan IPO dari tahun 2004 sampai dengan tahun 2006, yang kemudian akan dijadikan bahan analisa di penelitian ini. Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan bukti adanya kecenderungan harga IPO berada di bawah harga pasar dalam pengamatan jangka pendek atau bahkan harganya di atas harga pasar atau sesuai dengan harga pasar (sampai dengan 3 bulan). Pendekatan yang dilakukan di penelitian ini adalah Abnormal Return pada saham-saham terkait dan hasilnya akan dikaitkan dengan teori-teori pasar modal yang ada. Ternyata hasil dari tes hipotesa yang dilakukan (one sample t-test) fenomena harga IPO berada di bawah harga pasar memang terjadi, untuk lebih spesifik hal itu terjadi pada pengamatan di hari pertama penawaran, minggu pertama sampai dengan minggu ke-empat, tetapi tidak terjadi pada saat pengamatan di bulan ke-3 (harga IPO tidak berada di bawah atau di atas harga pasar). Nilai pengembalian dan resiko dari saham-saham IPO juga akan dijelaskan di penelitian ini, sehingga hasilnya bisa digunakan sebagai gambaran dan juga strategi bagu pihak-pihak terkait. Mengingat banyak keterbatasan dalam penelitian ini, disarankan bagi peneliti selanjutnya agar bisa melihat fenomena ini dengan sudut pandang yang lebih dalam dan pembelajaran yang lebih jauh agar hasilnya lebih optimal dan bisa mengaiktkan fenomena yang terjadi dengan landasar teori yang lebih tepat. Kata kunci: IPO, harga IPO di bawah / di atas / sesuai dengan harga pasar.
