The 25 Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Area North Carolina Companies With Market Caps Above $100 Mil Generated Total Audited US GAAP Earnings For 2015 of $1.068 Bil, Up 271% From Their 2014 Total Audited Earnings of $0.288 Bil and Also Up 4,350% From Total Earnings of $0.024 Bil in 2008, the Year Before President Obama Took Office

Since President Obama is traveling tomorrow November 2, 2016 to the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Area in North Carolina and specifically to the absolutely gorgeous campus of the world renown public University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I think it might be helpful to research how the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina Area Headquartered Companies have performed on the earnings front during the Obama Administration.

From a review of the very fine Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC website, I found the 25 Companies headquartered in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina Area, all with Stock Market Capitalizations now of more than $100 Mil and which also have filed their fiscal year 2015 annual financial statements with the SEC.  Traditional Regulated Utilities were excluded.

Below here are the reported Audited Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations of each of these 25 Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina Area Companies for all years reported from 2007 through 2015 where the amounts were presented and in a consistent manner:

New Hampshire Companies Superb Earnings Growth of Most Recent Three Annual Years Continues in the First Half of 2016

Since the best US Senator Bernie Sanders is campaigning in New Hampshire today November 1, 2016, where both the US Presidential Race and the US Senate Race are close, I think it would be helpful to see how New Hampshire Companies are doing on the earnings front.

From a review of the very fine Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC website, I found the 8 Companies headquartered in New Hampshire, all with Stock Market Capitalizations now of more than $100 Mil and which also have filed their fiscal year 2015 annual financial statements with the SEC.  Tradition Regulated Utilities were excluded. 

Below here are the reported Audited US GAAP Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations of each of these 8 New Hampshire Companies with Stock Market Caps above $100 Mil for the most recent four years 2012 through 2015:

So, what happened to this stellar earnings trend in the first half of 2016?  It continued!

With financial statement information filed with the SEC, these 8 New Hampshire Companies registered US GAAP Total Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2016 which increased by another 54% above that in the six months ended June 30, 2015, as you can see in the below chart:

I can't think of any other US State's Companies generating such spectacular earnings growth in the past 3 1/2 years.

The 21 Columbus, Ohio Companies With Market Caps Above $100 Mil Generated Total Audited US GAAP Earnings For the Two Years 2014 and 2015 Combined of $9.045 Bil, Up 5,625% From the Total Earnings of $0.158 Bil For the Two Years 2008 and 2009 Combined

Since President Obama is traveling today November 1, 2016 to Columbus, Ohio, the State Capital and home of the renown Ohio State University, I think it might be helpful to research how the Columbus, Ohio Area Headquartered Companies have performed on the earnings front during the Obama Administration.

From a review of the very fine Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC website, I found the 21 Companies headquartered in the Columbus, Ohio Area, all with Stock Market Capitalizations now of more than $100 Mil and which also have filed their fiscal year 2015 annual financial statements with the SEC.  Traditional Regulated Utilities were excluded.
