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.
