2/18/13 Mon/Sun/Sat Walamrt and Hewlett-Packard Report Earnings on Thursday

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,051  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 ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings.

A read of the print editions of Tuesday's Investor's Business Daily; Monday's Barron's, Mon/Sun & Sat's New York Times & Atlanta Journal Constitution, Monday's Daily Report (Ga.  - carries Bloomberg) &  the combined Sat/Sun issues of each of the Wall St. Journal & Financial Times: and 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 Friday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 13,981.76 down 8.37 or 0.06% from Thursday's close of 13,982.91. For the week the Dow is down 10.61 or 0.7% from last Friday's close of 13,992.97. For the year the Dow is up6.7 %. Of the Dow components 16 gained, Cisco was unchanged and 13 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $1.13 cents and percentage-wise was Coke up 1.52%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart down $1.52 or 2.15%.

Sat. WSJ pB6 "Walmart's decline damps the day" by Matt Jarzemsky says the S&P edged lower as declines in Walmart and energy shares offset firm economic readings. Walmart fell $1.52, the biggest drop among the Dow after Bloomberg News reported a there said this month's sales ahve been a "total disaster" citing an internal email to executives.

Sat. AJC pA12 "A&P extends streak" by AP says the S&P barely kept a streak of weekly advances alive at 7 weeks. Walmart's stock slumped 2.1% after Bloomberg quoted a leaked email from an exec that said Feb sales were a "total disaster."

Sat FT p13 "New round of dealmaking behind seventh weekly gain" by Arash massoudi says a fresh round of dealmaking across Wall St helped US stocks edge higher & record their 7th straight week of gains despite a slight drop in share prices yesterday. The Dow was down as leaked emails from Walmart executives discussing poor Jan sales suggested to investors that the payroll tax cuts were hurting consumption.

Sat. NYT pB6 "On a mixed day, consumer sentiment rises and Walmart falls" by Reutes says stocks were mixed on Fri, lifted by a strong report on consumer sentiment but pulled down in late trading by what was said to be an internal report of weak Walmart sales at the start of Feb.

IBD pB8 "Stocks finish tight week of trading little changed" by Paul Whitfield says stocks slipped Fri as volume rolled in mixed despite an options expiration day. Walmart sent a shiver through the market after a Bllomberg story said it was seeing the weakest sales start for a month in 7 years, thanks to the payroll tax increase. Friday's action was down in mixed volume whiel the current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.

As of the open 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 0.130216081. Friday's closing trailing P/E ratio is 15.38 up from Friday's opening trailing P/E ratio of 15.37 (year ago it was 14.45); Friday's closing P/E estimate is 12.50 down from Friday' s opening P/E estimate of 12.54 (year ago it was 12.35) and Friday's closing dividend yield is 2.61 down from Friday's opening dividend yield of 2.48 (last year it was 2.51). 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 1,820.65 down 1.09 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,819.56. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $60.69 up 4 cents from yesterday's average of $60.65. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.46 (DIS/UNH) down 45 cents from yesterday's median closing price of $56.01. The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

If Friday 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 $109 ($182,065 -$181,956).

MarketWatch Friday 2/15/13 3:18 by Wallace Witkowski & amp; Poly Lesova says U.S. stocks fell on Friday following a news report that a Wal-Mart Stores Inc. executive has called the retailer’s February sales “a total disaster” in an internal email. Bloomberg News reported the email on Friday afternoon, just as anxiety over an overbought market had countered data showing a rise in consumer sentiment and manufacturing activity. Also in the spotlight, finance ministers and central bankers from the Group of 20 countries met in Moscow against a backdrop of currency tensions. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA+0.06% fell 44.05 points, or 0.3%, to 13,929.34, with 10 of its 30 components in positive territory. The index hit an intraday high of 14,001.93 before dropping to an intraday low of 13,906.73. The Dow is currently down 0.5% for the week. Shares of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT-2.15% weighed on the Dow, falling 3%, after Bloomberg reported that Jerry Murray, a Wal-Mart vice president, called February’s month-to-date sales “a total disaster” and “the worst start to a month” he has seen in his time with the company. Randy Hargrove, a spokesperson for Wal-Mart, told MarketWatch that “as with any organization, we often see internal communications that are not entirely accurate, that lack the proper context and represent individual opinions.” Wal-Mart will release its fourth-quarter earnings on Feb. 21 before the market opens. The S&P 500 index SPX-0.10% fell 5.87 points, or 0.4%, to 1,515.51, with utilities the only gainer and energy the biggest decliner among its 10 major industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite IndexCOMP-0.21% dropped 11.75 points, or 0.4%, to 3,186.91, after hitting a fresh 12-year high of 3,206.21. Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are down about 0.2% for the week. Until the Wal-Mart news, no one catalyst had been driving the market, which had to bobbed and weaved in anticipation of a correction. With the S&P 500 up nearly 7% for the year to date, investors are suspect buying at these levels, said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners. “Markets are overbought,” he said. “There’s concern about the sequester. People don’t want to be the last ones to the party; they want to see the market give back a little.” Next week brings reports on housing and consumer prices, but the spotlight may be dominated by the approaching March 1 spending cuts known as the sequester.
Declining stocks outnumbered advancers by about 17 to 12 on the New York Stock Exchange, and about 12 to 10 on the Nasdaq. Composite volume for NYSE-listed stocks topped 2.8 billion shares, and topped 1.4 billion for Nasdaq-listed stocks. As far as retail investors go, much of that sidelined money may not be going into individual stocks, but into stock funds and exchange-traded funds instead. The three major U.S. stock indexes had been in positive territory earlier after the University of Michigan-Thomson Reuters consumer-sentiment gauge rose to a preliminary February reading of 76.3 — the highest level since November — from a final January reading of 73.8. Also, the New York Federal Reserve Bank reported before the market open that the Empire State manufacturing index moved into positive territory in February for the first time since July. Separately, industrial production slipped 0.1% in January after the Federal Reserve found the final two months of last year were stronger than initially estimated. Investors are also watching a G-20 meeting in Moscow. The Wall Street Journal said G-20 officials will pledge to make sure that monetary policy is focused on price stability and growth, rather than weakening their respective currencies, according to the draft of a statement they intend to release Saturday. U.S. investors will also heed to any developments in the effort to head off looming sharp cuts to defense and domestic spending. Senate Democrats on Thursday offered a plan that would come up with half of the $110 billion needed to prevent the sharp cuts — known as the sequester — through new revenue, and half through spending cuts.
