Thus, I think it might be helpful to research how the Utah Headquartered Companies have performed on the earnings front during the Obama Administration.
From a review of the very fine Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC website, I found the 30 Companies headquartered in Utah, all with Stock Market Capitalizations now of more than $100 Mil and which also have filed their fiscal year 2015 annual financial statements with the SEC. Traditional Regulated Utilities were excluded.
Below here are the reported Audited Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations of each of these 30 Utah Companies for all years reported from 2007 through 2015 where the amounts were presented and in a consistent manner:
