107 Largest US Retailing Corporations With Dec 2017, Jan 2018 or Feb 2018 Quarter Ends Posted 4Q 2017 Total Earnings of $34.508 Bil, Up 24% From Their 4Q 2016 Total Earnings of $27.751 Bil ........................................................................................ But the Clear Problem Here is That $17.449 Bil or 51% of Their 4Q 2017 Total Reported Earnings of $34.508 Bil Were Directly Courtesy of the US Federal Income Tax Existing Debt Forgiveness Feature Included in the US Trump Tax Cuts Act ........................................................................................ When All Three Largest Trump Tax Effects Are Excluded (Income Tax Benefit From Tax Debt Forgiveness of $17.449 Bil, Income Tax Expense From the Mandatory Foreign Earnings Repatriation Toll Tax of $6.404 Bil and the Income Tax Expense From the Decline in Value of Deferred Income Tax Assets of $0.953 Bil), As-Adjusted 4Q 2017 Total Earnings Were $24.416 Bil, Down 12% From Their 4Q 2016 Total Earnings of $27.751 Bil

From SEC filings, below here is Net Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for the 4Q 2017 and the 4Q 2016 as well as the Trump Tax Cuts Act (TTCA) 4Q 2017 US Federal Income Tax Earnings Effects for the 107 largest US Retailing Corps with Stock Market Caps of at least $1 Bil which have already released their 4Q 2017 Earnings.  I included several large privately-held US Retailing Corporations in these 107 Companies.  Excluded were 2 Corps which haven't released their Feb 2018 Quarter Earnings yet.
