Post No. 2,529 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 as of Dec. 9, 2013 and a summary of Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of Dec. 9, 2013.
A read of the print editions of Thursday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal & amp; 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 closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 16481.94 up 108.08 or 0.66% from Tuesday's close of 16373.86. For the year the Dow is down 0.57%. Of the Dow components 24 gained and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs up $2.15 and percentage-wise was JPMorgan up 3.03%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Merck down 48 cents or 0.91%.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2566.50 up 16.83 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 2549.67. 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.
WSJ pC4 "S&P 500 nabs another record" by Chris Dieterich says a 2 day rally in stocks carried the S&P to an all time high as Bank of America & Apple fueled outsize gains in fin'l & tech stocks.
FT p21 "Wall Street" says US stocks rose to put the S&P 500 on track to build on its biggest gain in nearly a month after strong data and earnings from Bank of america pointed to cont'd improvement in the economy.
IBD pB2 "Indexes continue rising bu sell offs hurt IBD 50" by Juan Carlos Arancibia says the market cont'd to patch itself climbing to new highs Wed as there was higher vol and the current outlook is confirmed uptrend.
NYT pB6 "Equities again stake higher terrain" by Reuters says the stock market rose Wed due to strong earnings from BofA and the latest economic data pointed to an improvement in the economy.
As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 17.06 up from yesterday's trailing P/E of 16.94 (last year it was 14.95). Today's P/E estimate is 14.82 unchanged from Wednesday's closing P/E estimate of 14.82 (year ago it was 12.21) and today's dividend yield is 2.08 down from yesterday's closing dividend yield of 2.09 (last year it was 2.60). The Dow's all-time high was 16,576.66 on December 31, 2013. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $85.55 up 56 cents from Tuesday's average closing price of $84.99. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.37 (WMT/HD) down 8 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $79.49 (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Cisco.
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 $1,683 ($256,650 - $254,967).
MarketWatch
1/15/14 Wed. 4:37 pm by Anora Mahmudova says the S&P 500 closed at a record high Wednesday,
narrowly beating its previous peak reached on Dec. 31, as investors took
upbeat manufacturing data, Bank of America Corp. earnings, and Apple
Inc.’s China deal as signs economic growth was on solid ground.The S&P 500 index
SPX
+0.52%
closed 9.5 points, or 0.5%, higher at 1,848.38 and set a new intrday
peak of 1,850.84. The benchmark beat its previous record close reached
on Dec 31 by only 0.02 point and is now flat for the year.The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
+0.66%
added 108.08 points, or 0.7%, climbing to 16,481.94. The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
+0.76%
, the best-performing index, rose 31.87 points, or 0.8%, to 4,214.88.
The tech-heavy index turned positive for the year after sharp gains on
Tuesday. John Fox, director of research at Fenimore Asset Management, says that
markets have already priced in the possibility of the Fed completing its
taper by the end of the year, and that if it happens early, it will
have a minimal impact.“The economy is improving, which means better corporate earnings. We
have created more than 2 million jobs and at 10-year yield below 3%,
markets can only go up. At current multiples, markets will go up even if
the 10-year yields rise to 3.5%, because at a price-to-earnings ratio
of 17.6, there is room for a bit more expansion,” Fox said.Upbeat earnings results from Bank of America
BAC
+0.18%
underpinned gains for the financial sector of the S&P 500, the
second best performing of the 10 after telecoms. The bank’s
fourth-quarter earnings topped analysts’ expectations and shares rose
2.3%. Read a recap of the live blog
of Bank of America’s earnings call.Apple Inc.
AAPL
-.00%
shares rose 2% after the chairman of China Mobile
HK:941
-0.52%
said the company’s recent deal with Apple will entail broad cooperation between the two. He also said
millions of iPhones have already been ordered by customers, signaling
strong demand for the device. Apple’s Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook
said he was “incredibly optimistic” about the outcome of cooperating
with the Chinese carrier.
Stocks added to gains after the Federal Reserve released a report, known as the Beige Book, saying the U.S. economy is continuing to grow
at a moderate pace and the economic outlook is positive, confirming
recent economic indicators. Earlier, the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York’s report showed manufacturing activity in the New York region surged in January, far more than anticipated, after three months of weak readings.Separately, U.S. wholesale prices rose
in December for the first time in three months, largely reflecting
higher costs for gasoline and tobacco, the U.S. Department of Labor
said. The gains were higher than economists expected.Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial, wrote in a
research note that the “second-year curse” may offer a better indication
as to how the year may unfold.“Year two of the presidential cycle has typically been a volatile one
for investors. Will the year-two curse repeat in 2014? It may,
particularly if a temporary economic soft spot develops in the second
quarter. Weak economic data readings led to 5% or more pullbacks
beginning in the spring of each of the past four years,” Kleintop wrote.
Shares of General Motors Co.
GM
+0.30%
fell 1.6% after the auto maker said it sees “modest” 2014 North
American market-share gains, but it also forecast restructuring costs of
$1.1 billion for this year. GM said after the market closed Tuesday
that it would pay a dividend this March, the first since May 2008.
Real estate investment trusts missed out on the stock market’s
stellar performance last year.Aeropostale Inc.
ARO
+0.26%
shares rose 0.7%. The teen retailer has reportedly reached out to at least two private-equity firms
to gauge interest in a sale, but isn’t currently in negotiations, according to Bloomberg News.
Shares of Tesla Motors Inc.
TSLA
+0.13%
rose 1.8%. The electric-car company’s shares surged 16% Tuesday
after the company said its fourth-quarter sales and deliveries came to
“almost” 6,900, beating its own expectations by 20%. The company also
disclosed it would recall up to 29,222 2013 Model S cars because of
adapter issues.PetSmart Inc.
PETM
-2.41%
shares fell 2.4%. Joseph O’Leary, the company’s chief operating officer
and president, is set to retire this year and the company said Tuesday
it won’t fill the chief operating officer position
. Instead, the chief executive will take on the additional title of
president as the company reorganizes its leadership structure.European stocks closed at a six-year high on global growth hopes. The dollar strengthened across the board Wednesday after U.S. data underscored a recovery in the manufacturing sector.
