New Jersey Big Two Pharma Cos (JNJ and Merck) Total Pretax Income Up 38% in the 1Q 2020 ... While the 13 NJ Cos With Market Caps of $10-70 Bil Total Earnings Down 41% and the 41 NJ Cos With Market Caps of $1-10 Bil Total Earnings Down 509% ... This Earnings Trend is Happening All Over the US ... US Capitalism is Not Working Properly During This Deep Recession (Depression) ... The Trump Administration, the Republican-Controlled US Senate and the Scared-of-Trump US Fed All Continually Help Propel the Largest Companies and Thus the US Big Market Cap Dow Industrial Index to Unprecedented Levels and Pretty Much Ignore the Rest of the Companies and the US People

From a review of Company SEC filings and the Google Finance website, I found 56 New Jersey Companies with stock market caps of above $1 bil recently. 

The number of New Jersey Companies with stock market caps above $1 bil has significantly declined as compared to what it was during the Obama Administration.

The table below shows the US GAAP Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for the first quarter of both 2020 and 2019 for each of these 56 New Jersey Companies.
