Most researches show that financial statements and profit declaration has information content. This study is conducted for two aims, one investigating the impact of UNEXPECTED EARNINGS on reaction of shareholders and another is impact of UNEXPECTED EARNINGS on investors return.

The population of this paper consists of all companies listed on TSE. By filtering (systematic elimination) approach, 99 companies are selected during 2008 to 2012 as the research sample. For data analysis, regression panel data analysis is applied. The results of the study show that earnings can have information content and declaration of UNEXPECTED EARNINGS that is done by earnings smoothing incentives by management causes that investors can interpret and understand the meaning of earnings information well. Thus, investors’ reliability to acquire declared earnings is increased and the increase of reliability of the investors leads to the increase of the impact of UNEXPECTED EARNINGS on ABNORMAL RETURNS and stock price.
