EMH Meaning and Definition

  1. The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) is a theory in finance that proposes that financial markets are efficient and incorporate all relevant information in determining the prices of assets. According to this hypothesis, financial markets possess the ability to quickly and accurately reflect all available information, making it difficult for investors to consistently achieve superior returns through stock picking or market timing.

    The EMH suggests that since market participants include all relevant information in their decision-making process and prices adjust rapidly to new information, it becomes impossible for investors to consistently earn abnormal or excess returns. In other words, the hypothesis assumes that current prices accurately reflect the intrinsic value of assets based on all available information, leaving no room for mispricing or undervaluation.

    There are three forms of the EMH: weak, semi-strong, and strong. The weak EMH asserts that future stock prices cannot be predicted based on historical price movements as they already incorporate all past information. The semi-strong form argues that neither past nor publicly available information can be used to gain an advantage in stock picking. Lastly, the strong form contends that no investor, regardless of their access to information, can consistently outperform the market.

    While the EMH has been widely debated and criticized, it remains a prominent concept in finance and has significant implications for the valuation of securities and the practice of investing.
