The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 16514.37 up 65.12 or 0.40%   from Monday's close of 16449.25. Of the Dow components  19   gained and  11  declined.  The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs up $2.66 and percentage-wise was  Home Depot up 2.19%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was Exxon down 56 cents or 0.55%.



As of the open    the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of  Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117.  Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.23 up from Monday's opening  trailing P/E ratio of 16.15   (last year it was 15.88).  Tuesday's P/E estimate is 14.87 unchanged from Monday's opening estimate of 14.87   (year ago it was 13.05) and Tuesday's dividend yield is 2.19 unchanged  from Monday's opening dividend yield of 2.19   (last year it was 2.45).

A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $6.42 change in the Dow Index.
