Alabama Companies Total Pretax Earnings Decline Sharply By 79% in the Second Quarter of 2020, Even Worse Than Their 53% Decline in the First Quarter of 2020

From a review of Company SEC filings and the Google Finance website, I found 13 Alabama Companies with stock market caps of above $100 mil in mid-June 2020.  Of these 13 Companies, 12 of them had June 2020 quarters and one had a July 2020 quarter.

The table below shows the Gold-Standard US GAAP Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for the second and first quarters of both 2020 and 2019 for each of these 13 fine Alabama Companies.
