The 12 South Carolina Companies With Market Caps of at Least $1 Bil Posted March 2018 Quarter Total Pretax Income of $580 Mil, Up Only 2% From Their March 2017 Quarter and 10% 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 South Carolina with March 2018 Quarter Ends, with stock market caps above $1 Bil recently and which have released their March 2018 Quarter Earnings by June 12, 2018.  

I will update this quarterly earnings chart later for Companies with April 2018 and May 2018 Quarter End Earnings which haven't reported their April or May 2018 Quarter Earnings yet.
