The 4 Vermont Companies With Market Caps Above $100 Mil Generated Total Audited US GAAP Earnings in 2015 of $508 Mil, Up 65% Over 2012, Up 134% Over 2011, Up 498% Over 2010, Up 50,900% Over 2009, Up 1,714% Over 2008 and Up 4,518% Over 2007 ..... Vermont US Senator Bernie Sanders and Vermont US House Member Peter Welch Played Key Roles in This Superb, Consistently Exceptional Earnings Growth ..... Both Sanders and Welch Also Had the Wisdom and Character to Vote Against the US Big Corp and Wealthy-Favored PATH ACT of 2015, Which Played an Instrumental Role in Energizing the Anti-Establishment Movement of the Common Man and the Rise of Donald Trump

Since Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, with his keen political instincts and clear message and proposals to all of the US middle and lower economic classes, should have been the US Presidential Candidate running against Donald Trump in the US general election, I think it might be helpful to research how Vermont 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 4 Companies headquartered in Vermont, all with Stock Market Capitalizations of more than $100 Mil now or when recently sold, and which also have filed their fiscal year 2015 annual financial statements with the SEC.
