Abstract :
The impact of Information and communication technology to increase financial transactions in different fields shows the Positive developments of this industry in Iran. But could the ICT industry also be efficient in the economic capital of the country? Does the industry that appeared with the nature of contributing to convey and analyze the information has informational efficiency itself? In this study, the ICT industry in the Tehran Stock Exchange was surveyed to check its informational efficiency. The data and documents related to the profitability of companies in this industry for 6 years were studied quantitatively. A total of eight companies with the nature of ICT were selected. To understand the informational efficiency, runs test have been used with two approaches: runs with change relative to the average. The results showed that the ICT industry in Tehran stock exchange has not even a weak level of informational efficiency. The results are completely inconsistent with other countries and show that Iran's ICT condition needs a fundamental reflection.
