The 25 Cincinnati, Ohio Area Companies With Market Caps Above $100 Mil Generated Total Audited US GAAP Earnings in 2015 of $17.161 Bil, Up 14% From Their Total Earnings in 2014 of $14.990 Bil and Up 207% From Their Total Earnings of $5.598 Bil in 2008, the Year Before President Obama Took Office

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 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 25 Companies headquartered in the Cincinnati Area, 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 25 Cincinnati, Ohio Area Companies for all years reported from 2007 through 2015 where the amounts were presented and in a consistent manner:
