This work aims to explore the theory of efficient financial markets, under an analysis framework based on the assumption of rationality of the agents. For this purpose, it starts from an analysis of the theoretical considerations and the practical implications in the operation of the stock market analysis and investment decision making. Then, based on a documentary review, a discussion is opened around the problematizing question: Are financial markets efficient? The starting point is the approach to the efficiency levels proposed by Fama (1970) in order, based on these, to free the discussion around the empirical evidence of some studies or cases given in practice, with which serious questions are raised. to this theoretical approach. In the end, some considerations are raised from the perspective of behavioral finance, where feelings, emotions and collective behavior patterns can explain certain anomalies in the markets.
