The 25 Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Area North Carolina Companies With Market Caps Above $100 Mil Generated Total Audited US GAAP Earnings For 2015 of $1.068 Bil, Up 271% From Their 2014 Total Audited Earnings of $0.288 Bil and Also Up 4,350% From Total Earnings of $0.024 Bil in 2008, the Year Before President Obama Took Office

Since President Obama is traveling tomorrow 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.

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 Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina 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 Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina Area Companies for all years reported from 2007 through 2015 where the amounts were presented and in a consistent manner:
