Update On San Francisco/Silicon Valley Technology Companies Three Year Audited Earnings 2012-14 Better Than 2008-10 ..... 103 With Market Cap $1-30 Bil Up 17 Times ..... 92 With Market Cap $1-15 Bil Up 60 Times ..... Driven in Part by President Obama, Jerry Brown, Nancy Pelosi and the US Fed

Tonight in San Francisco, President Obama will be attending both a key DNC Fundraiser as well as a key DCCC Fundraiser.  Thus I think it would be helpful to research just how well the critical San Francisco/Silicon Valley Technology Companies have been doing on the audited earnings front since the 2008 US financial meltdown.

From a very thorough review of SEC filings, I found a gigantic number of 118 Technology Companies headquartered in the highly driven, creative, intensely research-focused San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area of California with Stock Market Capitalizations now of at least $1 bil and with 2014 Audited Financial Statements filed with the SEC.

Fifteen of these 118 San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Technology Companies have Stock Market Capitalizations now of more than $37 bil.  The Total Audited Earnings of these 15 Technology Giants were $106.386 bil in 2014, which comprised a massive 90% of the $118.566 Total 2014 Earnings generated by the 118 largest San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Technology Companies with Market Caps of more than $1 bil presently.

These 15 Giant Technology Companies generated 2014 Total Audited Earnings which were up 8% over 2013 and up a very robust 34% over 2012, as you can see in the below chart:

In addition to the above 15 Giant Technology Companies, there were another 103 San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Technology Companies with Stock Market Capitalizations now of between $1 bil and $30 bil.

So just how have these 103 San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Technology Companies done on the earnings front before, during and after the 2008 financial meltdown?  Just spectacular off-the-charts earnings improvement.

The Total Audited Net Income from Continuing Operations of these 103 San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Technology Companies for the 3 years 2012-14 Combined was $34.848 bil, an increase of an off-the-charts 1,690% over the $2.191 bil comparable Total Losses for the 3 years 2008-2010 Combined.

In addition, there were 92 San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Technology Companies with Stock Market Capitalizations now of between $1 bil and $15 bil.

So just how have these 92 San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Technology Companies done on the earnings front before, during and after the 2008 financial meltdown?  Just even more spectacular off-the-charts earnings improvement.

The Total Audited Net Income from Continuing Operations of these 92 San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Technology Companies with Market Caps from $1-15 Bil for the 3 years 2012-14 Combined was $19.810 bil, an increase of an spectacularly off-the-charts 6,022% over the $0.324 bil comparable Total Earnings for the 3 years 2008-2010 Combined.

So if the question to answer is how much better off are these Somewhat Smaller San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Technology Companies in their most recent three years than they were five years earlier, the answer is in the range of 17 to 60 times better as audited earnings under US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) are measured by the very prestigious US accounting profession.

Below here are the reported US GAAP Audited Net Income (Losses) of each of  these 103 San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Technology Companies with Current Stock Market Caps of $1-30 Bil for all of their fiscal years reported from 2008 through 2014, sorted by current Stock Market Capitalization:
