Post No. 2,172 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.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 15,105.12 up 48.92 or 0.32% from Tuesday's close of 15,056.20. Of the Dow components 21 gained and 9 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth $2.01 or 3.32%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonald's down $1.34 or 1.31%.
As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.47 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.38 (last year it was 14.39); today's P/E estimate is 13.25 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 13.25 (year ago it was 12.46) and today's dividend yield is 2.38 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.39 (last year it was 2.49). The Dow's all-time high was 15,105.12 on May 8, 2013. 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 1,966.93 up 6.37 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,960.56. 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 change for today by the divisor (0.130216081) you get the change 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 $65.56 up 21 cents from Tuesday's average of $65.35. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $64.20 (DIS/UNH) up 91 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $63.29. The lowest volume was 3M 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 $637 ($196,693 - $196,056 ).
5/8/13 Wednesday MarketWatch 4:17 by Kate Gibson says U.S stocks rose Wednesday, with the S&P 500 extending record gains into a fifth session, after companies including Electronic Arts Inc. projected earnings that beat estimates. A day after closing above 15,000 for the first time, The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.32% added 48.92 points to 15,105.12, its second straight record close. Closing with a fifth consecutive record, the S&P 500 index /quotes/zigman/3870025 SPX +0.41% gained 6.72 points to 1,632.68. Materials and technology fed sector gains, while utilities led losses among the S&P 500’s 10 major industry groups. “The baton seems to be getting passed from defensive names like utilities to consumer discretionary, industrial and energy names,” noted Dave Gedeon, managing director at Nasdaq OMX Global Indexes. Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report for April, which relayed a better-than-expected increase of 165,000 jobs, combined with rising home values, “continue to add to market confidence that economic conditions are improving,” Gedeon said.
Electronic Arts EA +17.11% rallied 17% and Whole Foods Market nc. WFM +10.12% jumped 10% after the upscale grocer raised its full-year profit forecast. Wednesday’s session began with first-quarter earnings having been reported by 436 of the S&P 500’s companies, with 67.2% beating, 9.2% in line and 23.6% missing consensus estimates by analysts, according to Thomson Reuters. Of the 293 companies that exceeded earnings estimates, 48% missed their revenue estimate. In a typical quarter, 31% of those beating on earnings miss on revenue, according to Greg Harrison, corporate earnings research analyst at Thomson Reuters. The Nasdaq CompositeCOMP +0.49% advanced 16.64 points to 3,413.26. For every stock on the decline, nearly two rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where 728 million shares traded. Composite volume neared 3.5 billion.
