Equity Investments Q117

0. An observation that the stocks with an above-average price-to-book ratio have consistently under performed those with below-average price-to-book ratio least likely contradicts:

  • Option : A
  • Explanation : This observation contradicts semi-strong and strong form market efficiency. Semi-strong-form efficient markets reflect all publically available information which includes financial statement data (including book value of a company) and financial market data (market price of a security). A strong-form efficient market is, by definition, also semi-strong and weak form efficient. This observation is not a contradiction to weakform market efficiency as financial statement data is not reflected in a security‟s price in such markets.
