Investopedia explains 'Informationally Efficient Market'

Before any big news release, a company's stock may change in value, due to investors and traders speculating on the stock's intrinsic value after the news release. In an informationally efficient market, there will be little to no price change after the news release comes out. Under this hypothesis any changes in stock price, after a news release, would be due to the interpretation of the news by individual analysts.
