The statistical sample consists of 120 companies selected by systematic elimination method and totally obtained 600 year-firm. In this research, linear regression and correlation were used to investigate the hypotheses of the research and Eviews software was used to analyze the data and test the hypotheses. What can be said in the summing up and conclusion of the test of research hypotheses is that predicting the earning per share influences investors 'attention, as well as the revision of the earnings per share influences the investors' attention.
