I excluded all US Utility Companies.
How have these 100 smaller US Companies recovered from the 2008-9 worldwide financial meltdown? Well, miraculously off-the-charts. Their Total Audited Earnings From Continuing Operations for the Two Years 2013-2014 were $6.958 bil, a massive $16.703 bil Earnings Improvement from the $10.745 bil Total Audited Losses in the Two Years 2008-9.
It is pretty clear to me that the major drivers of this wholescale, massive earnings recovery were prescient steps taken by the Obama Administration and by the US Fed.
Below here are the reported Audited US GAAP Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations for each of these 100 smaller US Companies for all years reported from 2007 through 2014, presented in order of stock market cap:
