How have these 100 twelfth largest US Companies recovered from the 2008-09 worldwide financial meltdown? Well, miraculously off-the-charts. Their Total Audited Earnings From Continuing Operations for the Three Years 2012-14 are up a monstrous 41 Times from that for the Three Years 2008-10.
Not only have the 2014 Total Audited Earnings of these twelfth 100 largest US Companies recovered all that they lost with the 2008 financial meltdown, but they added another 94% from the previous annual high in 2007 before the financial meltdown hit.
It is pretty clear to me that the major drivers of this wholescale, massive earnings recovery were prescient steps taken by the Obama/Biden Administration and by the US Fed.
Below here are the reported Audited Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations for each of these twelfth 100 largest US Companies for all years reported from 2007 through 2014, presented in order of stock market cap:
