Tennessee Largest Companies, Led By HCA and FedEx, Earnings On Fire, Especially in the Two Most Recent Years, Under Obama, Yellen, Lamar Alexander and the Saviest and Most Perceptive US Republican Senator Bob Corker ..................................................................................... 2016 Total Audited Earnings Up 18% From 2015, After 2015 Total Audited Earnings Being Up Another 21% Over 2014 ..................................................................................... 2016 Total Audited Earnings Also Up An Off-the-Charts 744% Over 2008

From a review of the Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC Website, I found the 34 Companies headquartered in the US State of Tennessee with Stock Market Capitalizations either very late in 2016 or very early in 2017 of more than $1 Bil and which also have filed their fiscal year 2016 annual financial statements with the SEC.  Traditional Highly Regulated Utilities Companies were excluded.

Below here are the reported Audited US GAAP Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations of each of these 34 Tennessee Companies for all of the fiscal years from 2007 through 2016 where the earnings numbers were reported and also where they were prepared in a fairly consistent manner with those in the most recent years:


2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007

Bob Corker would be an excellent candidate for US President in 2020.  I hope he runs.
