10/19/12 Fri am Microsof't's Profits Down; Verizon's Up

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 1,865 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, and a recent ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings.



A read of the print editions of Friday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & Daily Report (Ga. - 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 a separate table of Dow component's symbol and Thursday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

Dow Jones Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 13,548.94 down 8.06 or 0.06 % from Wednesday's close of 13,557.   For the year the Dow is up 10.90%.  Of the Dow components 13 gained, Procter & Gamble was unchanged and 16 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise   and percentage-wise was Travelers up $2.56 or 3.59%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was, again, IBM down $5.67 or 2.14 %.


As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of  Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.70 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.71 (year ago it was 12.79); today's P/E estimate is 12.62 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 12.62 (year ago it was 11.70) and today's dividend yield is 2.53 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.50 (last year it was 2.67). 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.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,764.29 down 1.05 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,765.34. 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 decrease for today by the divisor (0.130216081) you get the decrease in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $7.68 change in the Dow Index.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of  Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.81 down 3 cents from Wednesday's closing numerator of $58.84. The median closing price of  Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.22 (DIS/UNH) up 10 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $54.12 (DIS/UNH). The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

If Thursday 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 or dividends) and sold at the close you would have lost $105 ($176,534 - $176,429).

MarketWatch.com Thurs. 10/18/12 4:43 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stock indexes on Thursday fell for the first day this week as Google Inc.’s profit miss highlighted trouble in the tech sector and a rise in jobless claims offset upbeat manufacturing data.“As we saw in Google’s GOOG +0.73%  report, there are lots of high expectations in some of these widely held names, and when they don’t deliver, they can get hit pretty hard,” said Patrick O’Hare, chief market analyst at Briefing.com.The technology sector in particular is growth sensitive, with companies including Intel Corp. INTC -0.55%  and Applied Materials Inc. AMAT +0.27%   issuing warnings reflecting weakening demand.

“The spending environment has not been great within that sector, and there are concerns about end demand and how things are going to unfold,” said O’Hare.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.06% lost 8.06 points, or less than 0.1%, to end at 13,548.94, with International Business Machines Corp. IBM -2.83%  among its 11 decliners after the provider of technology services missed Wall Street’s sales forecasts with a 5% decline in the third quarter.Insurer Travelers Cos. TRV +3.59% was the top gainer in the Dow after its earnings more than doubled. The S&P 500 index SPX -0.24% retreated 3.57 points, or 0.2%, to 1,457.34, with technology hardest hit and telecommunications the best performer among its 10 major industry groups.The Nasdaq Composite COMP -1.01% shed 31.25 points, or 1%, to 3,072.87.In its worst percentage drop since January, Google shares declined 8% after the search engine’s third-quarter report was released ahead of schedule, with Google blaming printer R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co. RRD -0.88%  for filing its quarterly statement early to the Securities and Exchange Commission.Decliners edged just past advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where 719 million shares traded and composite volume topped 3.8 billion.

Equities briefly came off session lows after the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia reported regional manufacturing rebounded in October and the Conference Board’s index of leading economic indicators climbed 0.6% in September.Initial jobless claims rose by 46,000 to 388,000 last week, up from a revised 342,000 the prior week, with the four-week average at 366,000 versus 365,000 the week before. The price of crude oil CLX2 -0.07% fell 2 cents to $92.10 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Stocks have been stuck in a range, with the S&P 500 trading between 1,430 and 1,470 or so in recent weeks, said Mike McGervey, president of McGervey Wealth Management in North Canton, Ohio, who lists the slowdown in China, Europe’s troubles and the “dysfunctional” U.S. fiscal policy as among the wild cards compressing stocks prices.China said its economy continued to slow in the third quarter. The news came just weeks before it embarks on a once-a-decade change in leadership, compounding concerns about one of the world's major engines of growth.“What is still very under-appreciated in the market is that when we talk about the fiscal cliff, everyone says we need to compromise. But compromise can still have a destructive outcome. And the idea of an adverse outcome is not in the market,” said O’Hare of the automatic tax increases and spending cuts that would occur on Jan. 1, 2013, if Congress isn’t able to reach a deficit-reduction agreement.Pacific Investment Management Co. on Thursday said the U.S. credit rating would be cut as the drama over the so-called fiscal cliff plays out, Bloomberg News reported. “The U.S. will get downgraded; it’s a question of when,” said Scott Mather, Pimco’s head of global portfolio management, according to the news service. That said, “Pimco expects the debate over the fiscal cliff will end in fiscal consolidation, but not a fiscal catastrophe. Of the $700-billion-plus in potential fiscal contraction on the table, we expect around $200 billion to $250 billion to actually materialize,” Josh Thimons, chairman of Pimco’s America’s portfolio committee, said emailed commentary.

Lam Research Corp. LRCX +7.24% shares rallied a day after the semiconductor-equipment maker reported fiscal first-quarter revenue and earnings that beat estimates. “Everyone was braced going into the fourth quarter from what we might expect from third-quarter earnings, and so far it’s not quite as gloomy as many of us were expecting,” said McGervey. BB&T Corp. BBT -7.10% fell after the bank reported third-quarter profit below estimates.Philip Morris International Inc.’s PM -4.19% shares declined after the tobacco company reported earnings below estimates.
