Write a report critically analysing the movements in the share price of a FTSE 100 listed company in the calendar year 2020. You should relate your findings to the efficient market hypothesis and behavioural finance and include a discussion of whether the share price movement suggests the market is efficient or not.
Look for the response of the stock price to substantial changes that affect the financials of the company. You can examine the response of share price to substantial changes in dividend policies or other market news. You need to concentrate on the efficiency with which market adjusts to a news or event, and any possible anomalies in that adjustment.
Find a company that has something interesting to discuss. Look at several companies before making your choice. You can find a list of which companies are in the FTSE 100 on www.londonstockexchange.com. Your choice should be justified to show that you have given this due consideration.
You should also look for comment by financial analysts and investor funds.
