Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina Companies Posted First Half 2016 Earnings Growth of 86% Over First Half 2015 After Reporting Annual 2015 Earnings Growth of 271% Over Annual 2014

Since President Obama is traveling today November 2, 2016 to the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Area in North Carolina and specifically to the absolutely gorgeous campus of the world renown public University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I think it might be helpful to research how the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina Area Headquartered Companies have performed on the earnings front during the Obama Administration.

In my most recent post I showed that the 25 Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Area Companies with Market Caps above $100 mil reported Total Audited US GAAP Earnings in Annual 2015 which were up a spectacular 271% over Annual 2014.

So, how have they done in the first half of 2016?  Exceptionally well again.

With financial statement information filed with the SEC, the 23 Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Area Companies with Market Caps above $100 mil, which have reported First Half Financial Information with the SEC, posted Total US GAAP Earnings From Continuing Operations in the First Half of 2016 which increased by another 86% above that in the First Half of 2015, as you can see in the below chart:
