US Big Corps in Miscellaneous Services Sectors 2011 Annual Earnings Up 37% over 2009

I found 23 US Big Corps in Miscellaneous Services Sectors, which file with the SEC, and which have Pretax Income or Pretax Loss of more than $200 mil in any of the most recent three years.

The Total Pretax Income of these 23 US Big Corps in Miscellaneous Services Sectors was $10.8 bil in 2011, up only 3% from 2010, with the troubled For-Profit Education Sector negatively weighing on this modest earnings growth.

However, the Total Pretax Income in 2011 of these 23 US Big Corps increased a much more robust 37% over 2009. 

In deriving Pretax Income, I start with Pretax Income under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and then exclude several clearly unusual very large items relative to Pretax Income, such as Asset Impairment Charges and Gains/Losses on Debt Retirements.


Below here is the Pretax Income (PTI) and Pretax Loss of these 23 US Big Corps in Miscellaneous Services Sectors for each of the most recent three years.
