Consistent With the Horrible March 2018 Quarter Earnings of Health Care Companies in California and in New Jersey, Massachusetts' 15 Largest Health Care Companies Generated Total Pretax Income Which Declined By a Disastrous 40% From That in the March 2017 Quarter ........................................................................................

The 6 Manufacturing Companies Pretax Income Increased By 239% in the March 2018 Quarter, But That Was Predominately Due to GE's Pretax Loss in the March 2017 Quarter .....................................................................................

From a review of SEC filings, the below chart shows the US GAAP Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations, the US GAAP Net Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations and the related US GAAP Income Tax Expense for the March 2018 and 2017 Quarters for all US  Companies including both Partnerships and REITs which are Headquartered in the US State of Massachusetts with March 2018 Quarter Ends, with stock market caps above $5 Bil very recently and which have released their March 2018 Quarter Earnings by May 24, 2018.  

I will update this quarterly earnings chart later for Companies with stock market caps somewhat below $5 Bil and also for Companies with April 2018 and May 2018 Quarter End Earnings.
