Smaller California Corp Stock Prices Up an Average 143% Since President Obama Took Office

In a July 18, 2012 post, I found 130 Corps headquartered in the State of California, which filed with the SEC, and which generated Core Pretax Income or Pretax Loss of at least $40 mil in any of the most recent three fiscal years, and which also didn't generate Pretax Income or Pretax Loss of $100 mil or more in any of the most recent three years.

Smaller California Corp 2011 Annual Earnings

There were 94 of these Smaller California Corps, which had their common stock trading at both the beginning of the Obama Administration and presently.  These 94 Smaller California Corps generated an average stock market price increase of 143% from January 16, 2009 and June 5, 2013.  This 143% average stock market price increase is more than 1.6 times the 89% increase in the S&P 500 Stock Index and the 81% increase in the Dow Industrials Index over the identical time frame.

Now granted this 143% average stock market price increase for these Smaller California Corps during the Obama Administration is a bit below the 189% comparable increase for the Medium-sized California Corps and the 161% comparable increase for the Largest California Corps, but this 143% average increase is still very impressive.

California citizens have to be extremely happy with the stock market performance of their many fine California companies of all sizes during the Obama Administration.

And California citizens also must be very pleased with how the Obama Administration, with much assistance from the US Fed, worked so hard and very effectively on so many fronts to create a US economic environment that permitted these California companies to flat out flourish.  This highly successful effort created a robust US economic environment which was quite a change from what existed in the just horrible financial meltdown, near Depression year of 2008.

I think for these California Corps to continue to achieve this outstanding stock market performance for the remainder of the Obama Administration's second Presidential term, it is necessary (1) for Janet Yellen to be the next US Fed Chairperson starting in 2014, (2) for the US Senate to remain in Democratic control with the 2014 election, and (3) for the US House to return to Democratic control with the 2014 election.  If all three of these occur, I think you will not only see a rip-roaring stock market in the last two years of Obama's second Presidential term, but even more importantly, you also will see these very robust economic benefits shared fairly among all US citizens.

Below here are the common stock market closing prices of each of these 94 Smaller California Corps at both the most recent date (June 5, 2013), and also at the date just before President Obama took office in his first term (Jan 16, 2009), as well as the percentage stock market price changes for this period of time:

Medium-sized California Corp Stock Prices Up an Average 189% Since President Obama Took Office

In a July 22, 2012 post, I found 202 Corps headquartered in the State of California, which generated Core Pretax Income or Loss of more than $100 mil in either 2011, 2010 or 2009.  Included in these 202 Corps were several which were legally headquartered in foreign jurisdictions but with substantial operations in California.

California Largest Corps: 2011 Annual Earnings 

I am breaking down these 202 Corps between the Largest ones, which I am defining at those with Audited Annual Net Income or Net Loss From Continuing Operations of more than $500 mil, and the Medium-sized ones, which are the remainder.

In a recent earlier post, there were 65 of these Largest California Corps, which were the ones which had their common stock trading on both January 16, 2009, which is the last day stocks traded before President Obama took office, and also on May 31, 2013, and they had their average stock price increase by a very robust 161% from the time President Obama took office in his first term and May 31, 2013, as you can see in the below link:

Largest California Corp Average Stock Prices Up 161% Since President Obama Took Office

But it wasn't just the Largest California Corps which have done so well on the stock market front during the Obama Administration.

The Medium-sized California Corps have done even better.

There were 98 of these Medium-sized California Corps, which had their common stock trading at both the beginning of the Obama Administration and presently.  These 98 Medium-sized California Corps generated an average stock market price increase of an even more robust 189% from January 16, 2009 and June 3, 2013.  This 189% average stock market price increase is more than double the 93% increase in the S&P 500 Stock Index and the 84% increase in the Dow Industrials Index over the identical time frame.
 
It is pretty clear that the largest and the medium-sized California Corps have both flat out thrived during the Obama Administration, and will continue to do so, and particularly so if the US House turns to Democratic control and the US Senate remains in Democratic control, both in 2014.

Below here are the common stock market closing prices of each of these 98 Medium-sized California Corps at both the most recent date (June 3, 2013), and also at the date just before President Obama took office in his first term (Jan 16, 2009), as well as the percentage stock market price changes for this period of time:

Largest California Corp Stock Prices Up an Average 161% Since President Obama Took Office

In a October 17, 2012 post, I found 65 Corps headquartered in the State of California, which had their common stock trading on both January 16, 2009, which is the last day stocks traded before President Obama took office, and also on October 17, 2012, and which also had externally audited under US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) After-tax Net Income or Net Loss From Continuing Operations of at least $500 mil in any of the previous five fiscal years. 

These 65 Largest California Corps had their average stock price increase by a robust 121% from the time President Obama took office in his first term and October 17, 2012, as you can see from the below link:

California Corp Average Stock Prices Up 121% Since President Obama Took Office

So, how have these companies done lately?  Well, even substantially better, with their average stock price up 161% from January 16, 2009 to the close of Friday May 31, 2013.  And this 161% increase is nearly double the 83% increase in the Dow Industrials Index and the 92% increase in the S&P 500 Index over the identical time span.

The 36 Largest California Technology Corps had their average stock market price increase by a very robust 163% during the Obama Administration.

And the 29 Largest California Non-Technology Corps had their average stock market price increase by 158% during the Obama Administration.

It is pretty clear that the largest California Corps have flat out thrived during the Obama Administration, and will continue to do so, and particularly so if the US House turns to Democratic control and the US Senate remains in Democratic control, both in 2014.

Let me stick my neck out and do some prognostications on where the overall stock market is headed under various scenarios.  All of these prognostications assume that President Obama wisely picks Janet Yellen to head the Federal Reserve starting in January 2014.  Yellen will more perceptively and creatively take directly-targeted actions that will much better assure that the US economic recovery will benefit the entire country, altering the Fed's present pure trickle down economic approach, which is clearly benefiting only those at the very top.

If the Republicans have control of both the US House and the US Senate with the 2014 election, then the Dow Industrials Index at the end of President Obama's second term will be somewhere in the range of 15,000 and 17,000.
 
If the Republicans retain control of the US House and the Democrats retain control of the US Senate with the 2014 election, then the Dow Industrials Index at the end of President Obama's second term will be somewhere in the range of 16,000 and 18,000. 

And if the Democrats have control of both the US House and the US Senate with the 2014 election, then the Dow Industrials Index at the end of President Obama's second term will be somewhere in the range of 20,000 and 24,000.  And if the Dow ends up being reasonably close to 24,000, many in the country will demand that Obama gets a third presidential term.

Anyway California citizens have to be extremely happy with the stock market performance of their many fine largest California companies during the Obama Administration.

California citizens also must be very pleased with how the Obama Administration, with much assistance from the US Fed, worked so hard and very effectively on so many fronts to create a US economic environment that permitted these largest California companies to flat out flourish.  This highly successful effort created a robust US economic environment which was quite a change from what existed in the just horrible financial meltdown, near Depression year of 2008.
