This study used Autoregressive Model to regress the past stock price with the current stock price. Tests employed for this study includes descriptive analysis, test for estimated empirical model, stationary tests and diagnostic tests. Result of this study reveals that for daily data, all of the industries has significant relationship which can be concluded as inefficiently weak. Meanwhile, for weekly data only consumer industry is inefficiently weak and for monthly data only industrial industry is inefficiently weak. All the other
