A read of the print editions of Thursday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, Investor's Business Daily, 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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 13,494.61 or 12.25 or 0.09 % from Tuesday's close of 13,482.36. For the year the Dow is up 10.45%. Of the Dow components 20 gained and 10 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Home Depot u $1.44 or 2.39%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard down $2.22 or 12.96%.
WSJ pC4 "Telecom buoys US stocks" by Matt Jarzemsky says shares of telecom stocks nudged stocks higher after readings on private sector hiring & service sector activity beat expectations. AT&T rose 36 cents & Verizon rose 42 cents after MetroPCS's planned merger with T-Mobile USA failed to impress investors. Hewlett-Packard plunged $2.22 to close to a nearly 10 year low after it gave a dismal forecast for the new fiscal year. HPQ is charted under Bad News.
Fin Times p24 "Short covering boosts Netflix as Citi rating stance attracts buyers" by Anora Mahmudova says US equity markets edged higher Wed as investors welcomed better than expected economic data.
NYT pB8 "Markets close slightly highe on labor report" by Reuters says Wall St ended modestly higher on Wed on stronger than expected data on the labor market and the service sector but the Dow was hobbled by a slide in Hewlett-Packard.
IBD pB2 "Stocks again up modestly this time in higher trade" by Vincent Mao says stocks again wavered but closed higher Wed amid mixed global economic data. Current outlook is confirmed uptrend.
As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.70 up from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.69 (year ago it was 12.20); Thursday's P/E estimate is 12.75 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 12.75 (year ago it was 11.15) and today's dividend yield is 2.50 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.50 (last year it was 2.86). 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.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,757.21 up 1.59 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,755.62. 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 (0.130216081) you get the increase 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.57 up 5 cents from Tuesday's closing numerator of $58.52. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.67 (DIS/UNH) up 44 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $54.23 (DIS/UNH). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Wednesday 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 made $159 ($175,721 - $175,562).
MarketWatch.com Wed. 10/3/12 5:19 pm by Carla Mozee & Kate Gibson says US blue chip stocks stocks closed higher Wednesday, with modest gains following upbeat data on U.S. private-sector job growth and activity in the services sector. But blue-chips struggled during the session as Hewlett-Packard Co.’sq HPQ-12.96% stock plunged to multi-year lows after the company’s disappointing forecast underscored concerns about corporate profitability ahead of the start of earnings season. “There’s an overall concern that this earnings season is going to be weak,” said Michael Yoshikami, chief executive and founder of Destination Wealth Management in Walnut Creek, Calif. For years, commodities investors had it easy-just buy anything that China was buying. Now, with China's growth slowing and demand for raw materials easing, investors are being forced to work a bit harder. “You’ve already seen announcements from FedEx Corp. FDX+1.33% , which tends to be a bellwether for economic growth. H-P adds to that concern,” said Yoshikami, noting that H-P’s soft guidance is also a “dramatic example because they have some specific business issues they are dealing with.” The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA+0.09% rose 12.25 points, or 0.1%, to 13,494.61, with shares of Home Depot Inc. HD +2.39% topping advancers. The Dow had been up by as many as 54 points after a better-than-expected readings on the labor market and the services sector from Automatic Data Processing and the Institute for Supply Management, respectively.
Blue-chips had lost as many as 43 points intraday, with decliners paced by shares of H-P, which slid 13% and closed at a nearly 10-year low. H-P issued a weak adjusted-earnings forecast for fiscal year 2013 and said the year will be a “fix and rebuild” one for the company. The Nasdaq Composite COMP+0.49% pared its gain to 15.19 points, or 0.5%, to 3,135.23, but marked a second consecutive win. The S&P 500 SPX+0.36% also finished off session highs but it logged a third straight day of gains. The index rose 5.24 points, or 0.4%, to 1,450.99 with telecommunications services, consumer discretionary and financials faring best and energy and materials the laggards among its 10 industry groups. Crude prices tumbled on worries about the global economy as China’s services industries in September expanded at a lackluster pace, while euro-area services and manufacturing shrank for an eighth month. Crude for November delivery CLX2+0.06% settled at a two-month low, falling 4.1% to $88.14 a barrel. Yoshikami said he’s been sticking with stocks as he sees the market reasonably valued. “I think the alternative, which is fixed income, pay essentially nothing. Most importantly, the Federal Reserve has a stated policy of trying to inflate the stock market to increase the wealth effect. This is a classic case of not fighting the Federal Reserve’s intentions.” Two days before the Labor Department releases September payrolls data, ADP reported that private payrolls rose by 162,000 in September, more than the 152,000 Dow Jones Newswires-compiled consensus, and lower than the prior month’s revised gain of 189,000. “The ADP report looked pretty good — that should give some positive hope to the overall market, which is experiencing a migration of concern from areas such as Greece and the fiscal cliff over to the third-quarter earnings season,” said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners in New York. Meanwhile, Monsanto Co.MON-2.18% shares fell 2.2% after the agricultural supply company projected 2013 earnings below expectations. Shares of Best Buy Co. BBY+4.66% rallied 4.7% on a Reuters report that its founder and buyout companies were reviewing the electronic retailer’s books. Decliners ran slightly ahead of advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where 666 million shares traded as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern. Composite volume reached 3.5 billion. And, the ISM’s September reading on the services sector also topped expectations, coming in at 55.1% versus 53.7% in August, with the latest level the best since March. “The non-manufacturing index continues to show relative strength in the service sector which accounts for roughly 83% of all private-sector jobs in the economy. This is unquestionably positive,” noted Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC. “The U.S. economy is hanging in there, especially compared to its other developed-world brethren in Europe,” emailed Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak.
