Post No. 2,396 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 Tuesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, Investor's News Daily, USA Today, Atlanta Journal & amp; Constitution and 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 Monday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 15301.26 up 64.15 or 0.42% from Friday's close of 15,237.11. For the year the Dow is up 16.77%. Of the Dow components 22 gained and 8 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Boeing up $1.48 and percentage-wise was Pfizer up 2.19% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs and Merck down 54 cents and percentage-wise was Merck down 1.14%.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks climb as lawmakers aim at a deal" by Dan Strumpf says stocks finished higher due to a possible DC deal to raise the fed debt ceiling. Since JPMorgan reported a loss, there is an expected slowdown in this quarter's earnings.
NYT pB5 "Hope edges out anxiety in markets" by Reuters says the stock market had modest gains in a volatile session Mon on cautious hope of a settlement in Washington.
FT p23 "Optimism over Washington talks sends S&P above 1,700" by Jason Abbruzzese says optimism drove stocks higher for a 4th straight day. Merck was sent lower by a pair of downgrades. Bernstein and Barclarys downgraded it, Bernstein from outperform to market perform and Barclays to equalweight from overweight.
IBD pB2 "Indexes reverse higher amid light holiday trade" by Vincent Mao says stocks fought back from early losses to end higher Mon extending their recent gains as Monday's action was upside reversal in lower vol and the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.
AJC pA9 "Debt ceiling talks push stock market higher" by AP says stocks rose Mon due to signs that Washington was closer to a deal that would avert a default.
As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 17.22 up from Monday's trailing P/E of 16.96 (last year it was 14.56); today's P/E estimate is 14.13 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 14.13 (year ago it was 12.62) and today's dividend yield is 2.18 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.19 (last year it was 2.52). The Dow's all-time high was 15,676.94 on September 18, 2013. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2382.65 up 9.99 from Friday's closing numerator of 2372.66. 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 (0.15571590501117) you get the change in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $6.42 change in the Dow Index.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.42 up 33 cents from Friday's average closing price of 79.09. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $76.21 (AXP/WMT) up 90 cents from Friday's median closing price of $75.11 (AXP/HD. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Cisco.
If Monday 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 $999 ($238,265 - $237,624) .
MarketWatch
10/14/13 Mon. 4:24 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks climbed on
Monday, with the Dow industrials and S&P 500 extending gains
into a fourth session, as lawmakers appeared to be inching towards an
agreement to raise the debt ceiling, three days before U.S. borrowing
authority is set to expire. “The market is very nervous about what is
going on in Washington, D.C.,” said Paul Mangus, head of equity
research and strategy at Wells Fargo Private Bank. “The markets are
going through these emotions of hope and fear. We’re looking for signs
of progress such as everyone else is doing, in the absence of more
information,” he said. After a 101-point drop, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average DJIA +0.42% ended with a gain of 64.15 points, or 0.4%, at 15,301.26, with Pfizer Inc. PFE -0.17% leading gains that included 22 of its 30 components. The S&P 500 indexSPX +0.41% added
6.94 points, or 0.4%, to 1,710.14, with health care and energy the
best performing and telecommunications and utilities the laggards of
its 10 major sectors.Whirlpool Corp. WHR +0.33% declined 6.5% on concerns about reduced demand for appliances. Expedia Inc. /EXPE -6.22% shares slid 6.2% after the online-travel site was downgraded to hold from buy at Deutsche Bank.
Netflix Inc. shares /NFLX +0.20% rallied 7.8% after Bloomberg News reported the company was in talks with major cable operators, including Comcast Corp.CMCSA -0.22% and Time Warner Cable Inc. TWC +0.05% , to add its video service to set-top boxes.The Nasdaq Composite index /quotes/zigman/12633936 COMP +0.62% rose 23.40 points, or 0.6%, to 3,815.27.
For every two shares on the decline, roughly three gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 575 million shares traded. Composite volume approached 2.6 billion shares. Equities maintained modest gains after the meeting was delayed to give congressional leaders more time to hammer out an agreement. Crude-oil futures CLX3 +0.20% gained 39 cents, or 0.4%, to $102.41 a barrel and gold GCZ3 +0.24% rose $8.40, or 0.7%, to $1,276.60 an ounce after falling 3% last week.
The dollar DXY -0.10% fell against the currencies of major U.S. trading partners including the euro EURUSD -0.01% . The Treasury market is closed Monday for the Columbus Day holiday.
And, while Wall Street’s attention remained largely on Capitol Hill, a number of companies will report third-quarter earnings in coming days. “We’re not expecting this to be a very strong earnings reporting period,” said Mangus at Wells Fargo, noting the reduced guidance for the third quarter. “What is going to be more important will be the guidance into 2014,” he added. Tuesday’s schedule includes Citigroup Inc. C +0.04% , Coca-Cola Co. KO +0.11% and Intel Corp. INTC +0.21% ; results from International Business Machines Corp.IBM -0.16% are expected Wednesday, while Thursday’s lineup includes Union Pacific Corp.UNP -0.03% , Verizon Communication Inc. VZ -0.06% and Google Inc. GOOG -0.01% . On Friday, General Electric Co.GE -0.08% is among those expected to report. On Friday, the Dow industrials halted a two-week losing streak and tallied their largest three-day points gain since Dec. 2, 2011, on signs of progress toward a debt accord on Capitol Hill. But the effort at avoiding a default lost steam during the weekend. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Sunday said he’d held a “productive conversation” with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. But the discussion has failed to yield a definitive plan yet to put to Congress for a vote.
The government started a partial shutdown on Oct. 1 after Congress did not approve a spending measure for the fiscal year. The gridlock comes along with Thursday’s deadline to raise the U.S. borrowing authority. Without legislative action, the country could default on its debts, a scenario seen as threatening to the U.S. and global economy. “Both sides are behaving like spoiled children. It’s inconceivable that they are going to try to run this up to the last minute. The house is on fire, and they are arguing how to put water on the fire,” said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners LLC.
