Cincinnati, Ohio Area Companies First Half of 2016 US GAAP Total Earnings Up a Robust 22% From That in the First Half of 2015

Since US Senator Bernie Sanders is campaigning today November 3, 2016 in Cincinnati, Ohio at the excellent University of Cincinnati, I think it might be helpful to research how the Cincinnati Area Headquartered Companies have performed on the earnings front in the First Half of 2016, President Obama's last year in office.

From a review of the very fine Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC website, I found the 23 Companies headquartered in the Cincinnati Area, all with Stock Market Capitalizations now of more than $100 Mil and which also have filed their First Half 2016 financial information with the SEC.  Traditional Regulated Utilities were excluded.

Below here are the reported US GAAP Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations of each of these 23 Cincinnati, Ohio Area Companies for both the First Half of 2016 and the First Half of 2015:
