As
of the close of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow
Jones Industrial Average found at page B4 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal
is 0.132129493. Saturday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.07 up from yesterday's
trailing P/E ratio of 13.94 (year ago it was 13.61); Saturday's P/E
estimate is 12.05 up from Friday's P/E estimate of 11.75 (year
ago it was 12.01) and Saturday's dividend yield is 2.62 down from
yesterday's dividend yield of 2.66 (last year it was 2.50). 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.
Friday's
Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,686.91 up 15.22
from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,671.69. 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.
