In this research, the relationship between earnings to stock per price ratio (E / P ratio) with sales future growth and stocks systematic risk in listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange is investigated. The purpose of the research is to determine whether investors are paying attention to the quality of information presented (earnings per share), and reflects this on corporate future sales growth and the systematic risk of stocks. It also examines whether there is a meaningful relationship between E / P ratio and future sales growth. The sample of this research includes 146 listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange during the period of 2011-2016. The linear regression model was used to test the hypotheses. The research findings show that there is a negative relationship between earnings per share (E / P) and future sales growth. In fact, companies that have a higher profit / share / E / P ratio have lower sales growth. Also, the results of the research show that there is a reverse relationship between profit to share price (E / P) and systematic risk (β). In fact, in companies with an E / P ratio, the systematic risk (β) was lower. Other research findings show that there is a positive relationship between earnings per share (EPS) and future sales growth. The results also indicate an inverse relationship between earnings per share (EPS) and systematic risk (β).

Because the accounting profit computation does not consider the cost of capital, it has always been criticized. One of the proxies of accounting earnings that recently were taken into consideration by accounting researchers is residual income. In this study, the relationship between accounting earnings and stock returns and the effect of changes in the accounting earnings on this relationship has been studied. Then using the concept of residual income, the impact of changes in earnings components on this relationship has been investigated. To test the hypothesis, a sample of 67 Tehran Stock Exchange listed companies during the years 2004 to 2010 were selected. To analyze the data and hypothesis testing, a multiple regression model based on combined data was used. The results indicate that there is a direct significant relationship between accounting earnings and current stock returns and the independent variable, earnings changes, affect this relationship. Also, if using residual income, the earnings could be decomposable to components, these components will strengthen the relationship between accounting earnings and current stock returns. Also the results revealed no relationship between accounting earnings and future stock returns.

This paper investigates the relationship between stock returns and financial and non-financial information, such as operating income, net Income, dividends, cash flows, industry effects, price-earnings ratios, and earnings growth in companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). The testing period is from 1378 to 1387. We use cross sectional data for investigate trends and use pooled data for investigate the relationship between stock returns and financial and non-financial information. The results show that operating earnings, net income and earnings growth have the most explanatory power in determinant stock return. Similar to the findings of western studies, our study shows that earnings data is key information for investors. Also, our findings indicate that cash flows, industry effects, and price-earnings ratios are relatively less important information to the market.
