The 61 Largest Virginia Companies Total Pretax Income Declined By 48% in the 4Q 2018, After Declining By 10% in the 3Q 2018 and Increasing By 14% in the 2Q 2018 and Increasing By 18% in the 1Q 2018

Since Virginia 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 Virginia Companies Have Performed on the Audited Pretax Earnings Front in the Most Recent Year
.............................................................

From a review of SEC filings, I found 61 Virginia 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 each of the four quarters of both 2018 and 2017 for each of these 61 Virginia Companies.
