The 132 Largest Massachusetts Cos Posted Huge Audited Total Pretax Earnings Declines of 43% in Annual 2018 and of Another 41% in Annual 2017

Since Massachusetts is one of the 12 Super Tuesday US States Holding Their 2020 Democratic Presidential Early Primary on March 3, 2020, I Think It Might Be Helpful to Research Just How Massachusetts Companies Have Performed on the Audited Pretax Earnings Front in the Most Recent Two Years
......................................................................


From a review of SEC filings, I found 132 Massachusetts Companies with stock markets caps of above $1 bil sometime since the beginning of 2018.

  

My Focus is on Pretax Income rather than on After-Tax Net Income because 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.



From a review of SEC filings, the chart below shows the Audited Gold-Standard US GAAP Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for the Fiscal Years Ended (FYEs) 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015 for each of these 132 Massachusetts Companies.
