The 4 Largest South Bend/Elkhart, IN Area Cos Total Earnings Up 313%, the 3 Largest Evansville, IN Area Cos Earnings Up 316% and the 17 Largest Rest of Indiana Cos Earnings Up 10%, All During the Most Recent Seven-Year Period

Democratic Presidential Candidate Pete Buttigieg Will Be Giving an Address on US Foreign Policy and National Security at the Indiana University Auditorium in Bloomington, Indiana on next Tuesday, June 11, 2019.  As an Introduction, I Think It Might Be Helpful to Research Just How Indiana Companies Have Performed on the Earnings Front During Pete's Seven Years as Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Which Also Happens to Coincide With Lloyd Winnecke's Seven Years as Mayor of Evansville, Indiana
......................................................................


From a review of company SEC filings and Google Finance, I found 24 Indiana Companies with stock market caps of more than $1 Bil presently which have filed their audited financial statements with the SEC for each of the most recent 8 years from 2011, the year before both Pete Buttigieg and Lloyd Winnecke assumed office as Indiana mayors, to 2018.

Of these 24 Indiana Companies, 4 of them are located in the South Bend/Elkhart Area and 3 are located in Evansville.

The 4 South Bend/Elkhart Area Companies Experienced Double-Digit Total Audited Annual Pretax Income Growth in Every Year That Pete Buttigieg Has Been South Bend Mayor.  This Total Audited Annual Pretax Income Growth Ranged From 10% to 34% Per Year, With an Average Growth of 23% Per Year.

The two stick-out Evansville Company earnings growth performers were OneMain Holdings and Berry Global Group.


From these SEC filings, the chart below shows the Audited Annual Pretax Income from Continuing Operations for each of these 24 Indiana Companies for every year from 2011 to 2018.
