The Giant Walmart Rules in Arkansas But It Posted April 2018 Quarter PTI of $2.8 Bil, Down a Massive 40% From Its April 2017 Quarter PTI of $4.7 Bil ....................................................................................... The Other 11 Arkansas Cos Performed Much Better Than Walmart in Their March or April 2018 Quarter, With Their Total PTI of $1.150 Bil an Increase of 4% From Their Prior Year's Quarter, But That Was Still 8% Below the 12% Earnings Growth of All US Companies With the Same Market Caps .......................................................................................

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 or April 2018 and 2017 Quarters for all US  Companies including both Partnerships and REITs which are Headquartered in the US State of Arkansas with March 2018 or April 2018 Quarter Ends, with stock market caps above $1 Bil recently and which have released their March 2018 or April 2018 Quarter Earnings by June 8, 2018.
