The 91 Largest Illinois Companies Total Pretax Earnings Decline Sharply By 51% in the 1Q 2020 From the 1Q 2019

Since US Presidential candidate Joe Biden and Barack Obama are holding a joint virtual grassroots fundraiser on Tuesday June 23, 2020 at 5:15 PM Eastern time, I think it might be helpful to research how Illinois Companies have performed recently on the earnings front.

From a review of Company SEC filings and the Google Finance website, I found 91 Illinois Companies with stock market caps of above $1 bil recently.  

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 91 Illinois Companies.
