The 114 Massachusetts Cos With March, April or May Quarter Ends (The First Full Quarter of the Trump Tax Cuts Act), With Market Caps of At Least $1 Bil and Which Have Released These 2018 Quarter Earnings By July 5, 2018 Generated March, April or May 2018 Quarter Total Pretax Income (PTI) of $7.099 Bil, Up a Very Modest 1.7% From Their Previous Year's Quarter Total PTI of $6.977 Bil .......................................................................................

There Were Two Completely Different Stories For Massachusetts Companies   

........................................................................................ Consistent With the Horrible 2018 Quarter Earnings of Health Care Companies in California and in New Jersey, Massachusetts' 37 Largest Health Care Companies Generated Total Pretax Income in the 2018 Quarter of $1.072 Bil, Which was a Decline of a Disastrous 53% From the $2.276 Bil Comparable Total PTI in the 2017 Quarter ........................................................................................ 

But on the Positive Side, Massachusetts' 77 Largest Non-Health Care Companies Generated Total Pretax Income in the 2018 Quarter of $6.027 Bil, Up 28% From the Comparable Total PTI in the 2017 Quarter.  But It Should Be Pointed Out That There Were Some Earnings Quality Problems With at Least a Few of These 77 Companies
.......................................................................................

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, April or May 2018 and 2017 Quarters for all US Companies including both Partnerships and REITs which are Headquartered in the US State of Massachusetts with March, April or May 2018 Quarter Ends, with stock market caps of at least $1 Bil recently and which have released their March, April or May 2018 Quarter Earnings by July 5, 2018.
