About this lesson
This lesson explores why the strong form efficiency assumption underpins valuation formulas, how markets respond to public information, and why markets aren't always rational—insights that matter when you're valuing businesses or deciding strategy. Through a worked exam question about Corona Co's drug trial results, you'll see how share prices behave under each level of market efficiency, from weak to strong form. Understanding these practical applications helps you move beyond theory and apply the hypothesis confidently in case studies and valuations.
