Oregon Big Corp Earnings Higher in 2010, Led By Nike

I found 5 Big Corps based in the State of Oregon. I am defining these Big Corps as ones that had more than $200 mil in Core Pretax Earnings or Losses in either of the most recent two years: 2010 and 2009.

One of these 5 Oregon Big Corps is a Utility. The other 4 had their Total Pretax Income for 2010 increase 10% over 2009, clearly driven by Nike's 19% earnings growth.

Below here are the individual current earnings for these Oregon 5 largest publicly-held Corps, as was disclosed in either their most recent annual Fiscal Year Ended (FYE) 2010 earnings releases or in their most recent SEC annual report filings.
