Skripsi ini membahas mengenai pengelompokan perusahaan berdasarkan debt capacity dan pengujian teori pecking order pada perusahaan non-keuangan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia tahun 2006-2010. Penelitian ini mengambil sampel perusahaan non-keuangan dengan metode purposive sampling. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder berupa data keuangan perusahaan yang didapat dari BAPEPAM (Badan Pengawas Pasar Modal) dan menggunakan metode PLS (Panel Least Square). Pengelompokan perusahaan berdasarkan debt capacity dilakukan untuk melihat hubungan antara financing deficit terhadap penerbitan utang jangka panjang sesuai dengan model pecking order. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dengan mengelompokkan perusahaan berdasarkan debt capacity, model pecking order dapat membedakan keputusan pendanaan perusahaan dengan lebih baik. Perusahaan yang memiliki debt capacity tinggi lebih memilih menggunakan utang dibandingkan perusahaan dengan debt capacity rendah ketika mengalami defisit keuangan.
