The 238 US Companies With Market Caps Above $10 Bil, With March Quarter Ends And Which Have Released Their March 2017 Quarterly Earnings By April 28, 2017 Generated March 2017 Quarter Total US GAAP Earnings of $154 Bil in the Trump Administration's First Quarter in Office, Up a Very Robust 20% From Their Total US GAAP Earnings of $128 Bil in the March 2016 Quarter ..... As a Comparison, All US Companies With Market Caps Above $10 Bil Had Their Total US GAAP Earnings Increase By an Even Higher 32% in Their December 2016 Quarter, the Obama Administration's Last Quarter in Office, From Their December 2015 Quarter ..... US Big Business Was On Fire in the Past Six Months ..... But Leaving the US Middle and Lower Economic Classes in the Bitter Cold

From a review of the very fine Google Finance Website, the excellent Yahoo Earnings Calendar Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC website, I found the 238 Companies headquartered in the US with Stock Market Capitalizations of more than $10 Bil at the end of 2016, which have March Quarter Ends and which have filed their March 2017 Quarter Financial Statements with the SEC by April 28, 2017.  Traditional Predominately Regulated Utilities were excluded.

Below here are the Total Reported US GAAP Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations for the Quarters Ended March 2017 and 2016 for each of these 238 very large US Companies.
