Greater Los Angeles Area Headquartered Companies Performed Substantially Better on the Audited Pretax Earnings Growth Front During Obama/Biden's Eight Years in Office (Up a Blistering 57% Per Year) Than They Did During Trump/Pence's First Three Years in Office (Up a Modest 1.3% Per Year)

From a review of SEC filings and Google Finance, there were 66 Greater Los Angeles Area Headquartered  Companies with stock market caps recently of above $1 bil and which reported Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations in their annual financial statement earnings information filed with the SEC for each of the most recent twelve years (Fiscal Years from 2008 to 2019).  Also, I included only Companies which were headquartered in California for the majority of these twelve years.

The table below shows the Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for each of these 66 Los Angeles Area Companies for fiscal year end 2019, the last year of the Donald Trump/Mike Pence's first three full years in office so far,  for fiscal year end 2016, the year before the start of the Donald Trump/Mike Pence Administration as well as also the last year of the Barack Obama/Joe Biden Administration, and for fiscal year end 2008, the year before the start of the Barack Obama/Joe Biden Administration.
