Missouri Companies Performed Much Better on the Audited Annual Pretax Earnings Growth Front During the Obama Administration's Eight Years in Office (2009-2016) ..... Up an Average of 16% Per Year ..... Than They Performed During the Trump Administration's First Three Full Years in Office (2017-2019) ... Up an Average of 7.5% Per Year

From a review of SEC filings and Google Finance, there were 21 Missouri Companies with stock market caps of above $1 bil in mid-June 2020 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 (Years from 2008-2019).  I included Companies with HQs in Missouri for at least 6 of these 12 years.    Also, I excluded a Company making a substantial separation which had resultant non-comparable earnings in 2008.   

The table below shows the Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for each of these 21 Missouri Companies for fiscal year end 2019, the last year of the Trump Administration's first three full years in office so far,  for fiscal year end 2016, the year before the start of the Trump Administration as well as also the last year of the Obama Administration, and for fiscal year end 2008, the year before the start of the Obama Administration.
