The 30 Largest California Banking Companies Total Pretax Earnings Dropped By An Off-the-Charts 156% in the Second Quarter of 2020, Even Worse Than Their 98% Decline in the First Quarter of 2020. The Trump Administration's Reputedly Strong US Economy Certainly Hasn't Hit the California Banks.

From a review of Company SEC filings and the Google Finance website, I found 30 Banking Companies headquartered in the State of California with stock market caps of above $100 mil recently.  All 30 California Banking Companies had June 2020 second quarter ends.

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 30 fine California Banking Companies.
