Despite Strong Earnings Growth From Premier Companies McDonalds, Costco and Home Depot, US Retail and Retail-Related (107) Companies With Market Caps Above $1 Bil 2Q 2017 Total Earnings Were $16.9 Bil, Down By 5% From the $17.8 Bil Total Earnings in the 2Q 2016 ....................................................................................... If These Retailing Companies Were More Financially Savvy and Established Wisely-Designed REITs, Their Earnings Would Jump Up Dramatically .......................................................................................US Capitalism Under the Trump Administration, Directed Mainly By Donald Trump and Ex Goldman Sachs Partners Steven Mnuchin and Gary Cohn, Is Seriously Broken When the Big 3 US Banks Generate 7.5% More in Total Earnings in the 2Q 2017, or $18.146 Bil, Than the Entire Operationally Very Well Run US Retail and Retail-Related Industry, or 107 Companies With 2Q 2017 Total Earnings of $16.882 Bil

From a review of the Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC website, I found the 107 Retail and Retail-Related Companies headquartered in the US with Stock Market Capitalizations of more than $1 Bil very recently and which have filed their Calendar Second Quarter 2017 Financial Statements with the SEC. 


Below here are the Total Reported US GAAP Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations for the Second Calendar Quarters of both 2017 and 2016 for each of these 107 largest US Retail and Retail-Related Companies.
