In an earlier post, I found 29 US Broad-based Manufacturing Corps, which file with
the SEC, which reported their calendar December 2012
quarterly
earnings through February 1, 2013, and which reported
Adjusted After-tax Net Income or Net Loss of at least $100 mil in either
the 4Q 2012 or in the 4Q 2011.
These 29 Early Reporting US Broad-based Manufacturing Corps generated Total Adjusted After-tax Net Income in the 4Q 2012 which was down 3% from the like earnings generated in the 4Q 2011.
Below here is the link of this earlier post.
US Broad-based Manufacturing Corps 4Q 2012 Earnings Down 3%
Since then, from Feb 2, 2013 through today February 21, 2013, there have been another 10 like US Broad-based Manufacturing Corps which have reported their calendar December 2012 quarterly earnings.
How did they do?
Well, also not well.
These 10 Late Earnings Reporting US Broad-based Manufacturing Corps generated Total Adjusted After-tax Net Income in the 4Q 2012 which was down 1% from the like earnings generated in the 4Q 2011.
The main positive earnings contributor was General Motors.
On the downside, 6 of these 10 Manufacturing Corps had down earnings in the 4Q 2012 as compared with the 4Q 2011. The main earnings decliner here was Cummins.
Clearly, the US Broad-based Manufacturing Corps are desperately in need of a huge dose of fiscal stimulus. The Obama Administration is spot on in its many proposals to shore up the US Manufacturing sector, where many of the good-paying full-time US jobs are located.
Below here is the Adjusted After-tax Net Income of each of these 10 Late Earnings Reporting US Broad-based Manufacturing Corps in the 4Q 2012 and in the 4Q 2011:
