Post No. 2,565 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 as of January 27, 2014 and a summary of Dow 30 components' recent SEC filings as of January 27, 2014.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 16154.39 up 126.8 or 0.79 % from Thursday's close of 16027.59. For the week the Dow was up 360.31 or 2.28%. Of the Dow components 27 gained and 3 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was ExxonMobil up $2.68 or 2.93%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Verizon down 80 cents or 1.69%.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2515.50 up 19.75 from Thursday's closing numerator of 2495.75. 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.
As of the open of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 15.73 up from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.63 (last year it was 15.37). Friday's P/E estimate is14.09 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 14.09 (year ago it was 12.54) and Friday's dividend yield is 2.62 up from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.18 (last year it was 2.62). 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $83.85 up 66 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $83.19. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $76.85 (WMT/HD) up 37 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $76.48 (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Cisco.
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 $1,975 ($251,550 -$249,575).
2/14/14 Fri. 4:28 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says US stocks ended the week with the best gains this year, sending the Nasdaq Composite to the highest level since July 2000. Investors shrugged off a surprise drop in industrial production data and focused on a mildly better-than-expected consumer sentiment gauge and earnings reports.
The S&P 500 index SPX +0.48% closed 8.80 points, or 0.5%, higher at 1,838.63 and gained 2.3% over the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.79% closed 126.80 points, or 0.8%, higher at 16,154.39 and recorded a 2.3% weekly gain. All but three Dow members gained on Friday. The Nasdaq Composite /quotes/zigman/12633936/realtime COMP +0.08% rose for the seventh consecutive session after a volatile start, adding 3.35 points, or 0.1%, to 4,244.03. The tech-heavy index gained 2.9% over the week. Economic data on Friday was mixed. Earlier, a surprise drop in industrial production in January, with the cold weather knocking manufacturing and mining output, dampened the mood. However, consumer sentiment was unchanged in February, with a preliminary reading slightly above consensus expectations, according to reports from the University of Michigan and Thomson Reuters.
“The big question surrounding U.S. equity markets at the moment is the true strength of the domestic economy,” wrote Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx Group, a global brokerage company based in New York.
“The half-empty-glass crowd feels the answer is somewhere around 1.5% GDP growth. Half-full adherents say it is closer to 3%. Something called ‘Winter’ seems to be getting in the way of a clear read at the moment, even if seasonal vagaries are as much a part of February as last minute calls to the florist,” Colas said.
In the corporate space, Cliffs Natural Resources /quotes/zigman/527698/delayed/quotes/nls/clf CLF -0.09% shares advanced 5.8% after the firm said late Thursday it appointed a new CEO and beat earnings estimates. Cliffs Natural announced that Gary Halverson will lead the firm a day after activist investor Casablanca Capital LP put forward a different candidate.
Campbell Soup Co. CPB -1.00% shares rallied 5% after the company’s quarterly earnings topped expectations.
Weight Watchers International Inc. WTW -27.73% slumped 28%. The company on Thursday reported fourth-quarter earnings of 54 cents a share and forecast 2014 earnings of $1.30 a share to $1.60 a share, sharply lower than analysts’ estimate of $2.72 a share.
Agilent Technologies Inc. -7.16% was down 8% after reporting its earnings late Thursday. The diversified testing-equipment company said its first-quarter earnings rose, but the company’s profit forecast was short of analyst expectations.
VF Corp. VFC -0.62% slid 5.1% after its earnings results came in below expectations.
In other financial markets, European stocks close higher after economic-growth data for the euro zone showed a pickup in pace. Gross domestic product for the currency union advanced 0.3% quarter-on-quarter in the final three months of last year, with Italy ending its two-year recession.
Asia markets closed mostly higher. The dollar dropped against most major currencies, while most metals prices rose and oil prices fell.

The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Friday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, 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 Thursday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 16027.59 up 63.65 or 0.40 % from Wednesday's close of 15963.94. For the year the Dow is down 3.3 %. Of the Dow components 23 gained and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $1.60 and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth Group up 1.38 %. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Cisco down 58 cents or 2.54%.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2495.75 up 9.91 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 2485.84. 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 "Stocks take a swing back into rally mode" by Alexandra Scaggs says after a one day pause, stocks renewed their rally of the past week despite another round of weak US economic reports. Cisco fell 58 cents after it narrowly beat adjusted earnings per share forecasts but reported a drop in fiscal 2Q rev and is charted under Bad News.
NYT pB10 "Robust profits offset weak retail sales" by AP says the stock market rose on Thurs. as higher earnings from several big firms such as Goodyear and CBS, helped investors shrug off discouraging news about jobs & retail spending.
IBD pB2 "IBD 50, small caps lead as uptrend seeks traction" by Paul Whitfield says stocks posted solid gains in mixed vol Thurs as the new uptrend tried to establish traction. The current outlook is confirmed uptrend.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $83.19 up 23 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $82.86. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $76.48 (WMT/HD) up 36 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $76.12 (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Cisco.
If Thursday 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 $991 ($249,575 - $248,584).
2/13/14 Thurs. 4:483 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says US stocks closed higher on Thursday as investors focused on upbeat earnings and deal news and shrugged off weak economic data. The Nasdaq Composite rose for the sixth consecutive session, its longest winning streak in two months.
Weaker-than-expected retail sales in January and a surprise uptick in
weekly jobless claims set a gloomy tone at the market open, but indexes
quickly reversed losses and moved higher.
The S&P 500
SPX
+0.58%
closed 10.57 points, or 0.6%, higher at 1,829.83, with all 10 main
sectors gaining. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
+0.40%
added 63.65 points, or 0.4%, to 16,027.59. The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
+0.94%
rose 39.38 points, or 0.9%, to 4,240.67. “Initial reaction to weak retail sales and jobless claims is being
replaced with fundamentals. Some of today’s earnings and deal news are
providing support,” said Chris Gaffney, senior market strategist at
EverBank. “The economic data were certainly disappointing, but trends do
not indicate a slide to recession. Besides, Yellen has reassured
investors that the Fed will stay accommodative and there will be no
tightening this year.”Sales at U.S. retailers fell
sharply in January and December turned out to be worse than initially
reported, offering more evidence that the economy may have softened
toward the end of the year.Initial jobless claims rose
by 8,000 to 339,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday. Economists
polled by MarketWatch expected claims to fall slightly to 330,000. The
four-week moving average was 336,750, an increase of 3,500.Federal
Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen’s scheduled appearance before the Senate
Banking Committee on Thursday was postponed due to a snowstorm.
It wasn’t clear that the snowstorm did much to clip volumes, however.
While volume for NYSE-listed stocks, at 3.2 billion, was the lowest
since January 6, volume for Nasdaq-listed shares was the most since
Feb. 3.Investors focused on deal news and a mixed bag of earnings.Time Warner Cable
TWC
-0.06%
climbed 7% on news that Comcast
CMCSA
+0.29%
will buy TWC for $45.2 billion
in a deal that would combine the two biggest U.S. cable operators.
Comcast shares fell 4.1%. Shares of Charter Communications Inc.
CHTR
-6.29%
fell 6.3%; the rival cable operator had waged a month-long battle to
buy Comcast.Shares in Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
GT
+11.46%
rallied 11% after the company reported a larger fourth-quarter profit and beat estimates.Cisco Systems Inc.
CSCO
-0.40%
fell 2.5% after the networking-equipment company late Wednesday said its fiscal second-quarter profit fell. Read: Cisco CFO: ‘There’s been a slowdown, and it’s very abrupt’
Key stocks to watch include Whole Foods Market ,Angie's List and Generac Holdings Inc. Photo: AP
Also late Wednesday, Whole Foods Market Inc.
WFM
+0.04%
said its fiscal first-quarter earnings rose
, but the high-end supermarket chain lowered its fiscal 2014
earnings-per-share outlook, sending the shares down 7.2%.Shares of
PepsiCo Inc.
PEP
-2.21%
fell 2.2% even as the company topped forecasts for its core earnings.
The company also said it would boost its annualized dividend by 15% and
it planned to increase share buybacks in 2014 to around $5 billion.In
other financial markets, the mood was mostly downbeat. The dollar declined and oil prices were lower. Gold prices rose, however. European stock markets fell and Asian bourses closed
in negative territory.
