The vast majority of S&P 500 companies (proxy SPY or IVV) are profitable on a 12-month basis, but some have profits strongly on the rise and others have profits strongly on the fall.

This article presents the 20 companies with the highest ratio of 12-month to average 3-FY net income, and the 20 companies with the lowest ratio.  Only the 469 companies with positive 3-yr average net income were considered.

FY 1 is the first prior fiscal year.
FY 2 is the second prior fiscal year.
FY 3 is the third prior fiscal year.
