Post No. 952 The following is brought to you by Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. Toward the end of this Blog is a list of the Dow 30 current CEOs, a ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization and Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of March 21, 2011.
A read of the print editions of Tuesday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Investor's Business Daily, Atlanta Journal Constitution & Daily Report (Georgia - carries Bloomberg) yielded the following stories about Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 component companies and the Dow with stories about the Dow aggregated first and then items about Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 companies presented alphabetically, followed by symbol and Monday's stock prices and related data.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 12,400.03 up 23.31 points or 0.19% from Friday's close of 12,376.72. For the year the Dow is up 7.10%. Of the 30 Dow components 19 gained and 11 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Johnson & Johnson JNJ $60.15 +0.66 1.11% 9,392,837 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $40.34 -0.64 1.56% 21,830,716 NYSE.
WSJ pC5 "Dow rises to highest close in 34 months" by Brendan Conway says blue chip stocks eked out small gains in the lightest trading volume all year, but other major indexes finished flat as tech shares sagged. The Dow closed at its highest since June 5, '08 and it was its 10th advance in 13 sessions. Johnson & Johnson led the Dow as it gained 66 cents, Walmart added 52 cents on a report that is considering groceries online. Gains were kept in check by Hewlett-Packard which dropped 64 cents and INtel which lost 23 cents. Boeing slipped 6 cents due to concerns over cracks in Boeing 737s and Pfizer added 16 cents after it sold its Capsugel unit to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts.
Fin Times p26 "Southwest Airlines loses ground after forced cancellation of flights" by Micahel Stothard says shares in Southwest lost ground due to the cracks in their 737s. Pfizer added 0.8% after agreeing to sell Capsugel.
NYT pB10 "Light trading ahead of earnings season" by AP says a light trading day on Wall St closed with slight gains for major stock indexes. Pfizer, the world's largest drug maker, said it would sell Capsugel.
Investor's Business Daily pA3 "Market little changed, but leaders move ahead" by Vincent Mao says after 2 weeks of gains, stocks searched for direction Mon and ended narrowly mixed in lower volume. The current outlook is the market is in a confirmed uptrend.
USA Today p4B "Dow, S&P advance, while Nasdaq slips" by Bloomberg says stocks advanced as optimism about takeovers outweighed a drop in tech shares following a report Mon showing lower chip sales. Hewlett Packard and Intel fell 64 cents & 23 cents respectively after the Semiconductor industry Assoc. said 3 month average sales dropped 1.1% in Feb.
As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Monday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. The trailing P/E is 15.07 up from Monday's trailing P/E of 15.04 (year ago it was 17.11); the P/E estimate is 12.75 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 12.75 (year ago it was 14.00), and the dividend yield is 2.37 up from Monday's dividend yield of 2.36 (last year it was 2.49). The Dow's all-time high was 14,164.53 on Oct. 9, 2007. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,638.41 up 3.08 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,635.33. This is the sum of all 30 closing prices. A short cut to the Dow numerator is to multiply the closing Dow by the Divisor. Now, if you divide the Dow numerator increase for today by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in today's Dow. A $1 change in the price of any DJIA stock = a 7.57 change in the average.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.51 up 0.25 cents from Friday's average closing price of 54.51. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.88 (JPM/AXP) up 0.13 from Friday's median closing price of $45.75. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $93.64 +0.51 0.55% 1,951,772 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $13.44 +0.07 0.52% 70,684,820 NYSE.
If Monday morning before the market opened you had purchased 100 shares of each of the Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 shares (assuming you could buy fractional shares and assuming no transaction costs) and sold at the close you would have made $308 ($163,841 - $163,533 ).
MarketWatch Monday 4/4/11 3:43 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Monday wavered between gains and losses with cheer over a large corporate deal dented by an industry report illustrating a drop in semiconductor sales.
The indecisive session had bulls and bears sidelined anticipating the next indicator of where the economy at large and corporate profits specifically might be headed. “Coming off of Friday’s employment report, we’re in a wait-and-see mode for a bit here as we wait for earnings or pre-earnings,” said Jay Suskind, senior vice president at Duncan-Williams. “Are we going to hear more companies talk about the cost of business going up in the third and fourth quarters?” Suskind said of investor uncertainty. Two of the three benchmark indexes turned lower, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 12,400, +23.31, +0.19%) maintaining near its current bull-market high after two consecutive weeks of gains. Small investors hurt by low ratesWhile low interest rates have meant big profits for banks, they are hurting small investors, including seniors who are seeing their cash earn minimal interest. The major indexes scaled back their gains after the Semiconductor Industry Association reported three-month average chip sales fell 1.1% in February from the prior month. Shares of Dow component and computer-chip giant Intel Corp. INTC 19.47, -0.02, -0.11%) fell 1.2%. Off the Dow, Nvidia Corp. (NVDA 18.00, +0.45, +2.56%) , which makes graphics chips, slid 3.7%. The Dow industrials (DJIA 12,400, +23.31, +0.19%) were lately up 18.13 points, or 0.2%, to 12,394.85. Twenty of the Dow’s 30 components gained, including Pfizer Inc. (PFE 20.50, -0.04, -0.21%) Shares of the world’s biggest drug maker rose 0.7% after the company said it would sell its Capsugel manufacturing unit to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR 17.14, +0.23, +1.36%) for $2.38 billion. At one point Friday, the blue-chip index hit 12,419.71 — its highest intraday level since June 6, 2008 — only to retreat below its 2011 closing high of 12,391.25, which was set Feb. 18. In Monday trade, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX 1,333, +0.46, +0.04%) declined a fraction to 1,332.05 with natural-resource companies up the most and technology the heaviest weight among its 10 industry groups. After a four-session advance, the Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,789, -0.41, -0.02%) fell 3.35 points, or 0.1%, to 2,786.25. Crude-oil futures (CLK11 108.28, +0.34, +0.32%) closed at $108.47 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Advancers edged just past decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where 530 million shares had traded by 3:30 p.m. Eastern. Composite volume topped 2.6 billion. “Volume is so low, there’s no conviction,” said Suskind at Duncan-Williams. Shares of defense contractor General Dynamics Corp. (GD 73.37, -4.05, -5.23%) fell 5.4% after one of the company’s Gulfstream Aerospace jets crashed during a test flight on Saturday, killing four crew members. Southwest Airlines Co.’s (LUV 12.46, -0.21, -1.66%) shares declined 2.1% with more than 60 flights canceled for safety inspections after one of the carrier’s jets made an emergency landing with a hole in its cabin on Friday.
