The 16 Largest Nevada Companies 1Q of 2020 Total Pretax Income (TPTI) Was $0.9 Bil, a 31% Decline From the 1Q of 2019. Imbedded in This Reported TPTI of $0.9 Bil Were Three One-Time Gains Totaling $3.0 Bil. Yeah Absent These Three Gains, These Nevada Companies Would Have Reported 1Q 2020 Total Pretax Losses of a Massive $2.1 Bil.

From a review of Company SEC filings and the Google Finance website, I found 15 Nevada Companies with stock market caps above $1 bil recently.

MGM Resorts reported a $1.5 bil Gain in the 1Q 2020 related to some maneuvering of its real estate assets of MGM Grand Las Vegas and Mandalay Bay.

Cannae Holdings reported Gains of $0.9 bil in the 1Q 2020 from its sale of part of its Investment in Ceridian.

And Caesars Entertainment reported a Gain of $.6 bil in the 1Q 2020 from the change in the fair value of its Derivative Liability.

The table below shows the US GAAP Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for the first quarter of both 2020 and 2019 for each of these 15 Nevada Companies.
