Wuerth While Wily Wakenings: UPDATE #2 For The Key Smaller US Basic Manufacturing Companies (Stock Market Caps of $1 Bil to $10 Bil): Their Total Pretax Earnings Decline Was 37% For the First 9 Months of 2018 For the 99 Companies With March Through December Fiscal Year Ends:

**********************************************************************

For the 99 Companies With March Through November Fiscal Year Ends, 2018 Pretax Earnings Were a Complete Disaster:

**** First 9 Months 2018 Total Pretax Income Down By 37%

**** First Quarter 2018 Total Pretax Income Down By 53%

**** Third Quarter 2018 Total Pretax Income Down By 52%

****************************************************************

From a review of SEC filings, I found 366 US Basic Manufacturing Companies with stock market caps earlier in 2018 of between $1 Bil and $10 Bil.

I define the key US Basic Manufacturing Companies as all US Companies with Standard Industrial Classification Codes (SICs) in the 2000s and 3000s filing with the US SEC excluding all clearly Oil & Gas Companies, all clearly Technology Companies and all clearly Health Care Companies. There also were a couple other clearly US Manufacturing Companies with SICs not in the 2000s and 3000s that I included in these 366 US Basic Manufacturing Companies.

Of these 366 US Basic Manufacturing Companies, 99 of them have March Through November fiscal year ends.

My Focus is on Pretax Income rather than on After-Tax Net Income because Corporate Income Taxes are simply a transfer of financial wealth between US Corporations and the US Federal, US State and Foreign Governments. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Company Operating Performance.

The Total Pretax Income of these 99 Companies decreased by a Huge 37% for the First Nine Months of 2018, by a staggering 53% for the First Quarter of 2018 and by another staggering 52% for the most recent Third Quarter of 2018.

The chart below shows the Gold-Standard US GAAP Total Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for the 2018 quarters and year-to-date periods as compared to the immediate prior periods for each of these stellar 99 US Basic Manufacturing Companies with March Through November Fiscal Year Ends.
