This table is even better. It shows that profit(loss) bottomed 2 quarters back. This table is a little different. The last column adds up the last 5 quarters of profit to see who, if anyone, is making any money! As shown, only 5 companies have been profitable over that period. Total profit(loss) for all 28 companies is over 2B, but profit growth has been improving the last 2 quarters.
