From a review of SEC filings, the below chart shows the Total US State US GAAP Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for the June 2018 and the June 2017 Quarters for Companies in Each US State with June Quarter Ends, with Stock Market Caps Above $10 Bil and which have reported their June 2018 Quarter Earnings By August 10, 2018.

My Focus in on Pretax Income Rather Than After-Tax Net Income Because the Lower Effective Income Tax Rate in 2018 is Simply a Transfer of Financial Wealth From the US Federal Government to US Corporations.  It Has Nothing Whatsoever to do with Company Performance.
