Post No. 2,675 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 a summary of recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 16633.05 down 42.32 or 0.25% from Tuesday's close of 16675.50. Of the Dow components 10 gained, Pfizer was unchanged and 19 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was DuPont up 25 cents and percentage-wise was Intel up 0.64%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $1.70 and percentage-wise was McDonald's down 1.03%.
As of the open the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.31 up from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.24 (last year it was 16.83). Wednesday's P/E estimate is 14.81 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 14.81 (year ago it was 13.75) and Wednesday's dividend yield is 2.18 down from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.21 (last year it was 2.35). The Dow's all-time high was 16,715.44 on May 13, 2014. 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 numerator is 2590.05 6.59 down from Tuesday's numerator of 2596.64. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $86.34 down 21 cents from Tuesday's average closing price of $86.55. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.89 (PG/HD) unchanged from Tuesday's median closing price of $79.89 (HD/PG). 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 lost $659 ($259,664 - $259,005).
5/28/14 Wednesday 4:26 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says the U.S. stock market ended Wednesday’s choppy session slightly lower, with the main benchmarks ending their four-day winning streak. The S&P 500 retreated from record levels but still closed above 1,900.
Analysts attributed small losses to investors taking a breather after four consecutive days of gains.
The S&P 500 SPX -0.11% traded in positive territory for the most of the session but gave up incremental gains and closed 2.13 points, or 0.1%, lower at 1,909.76.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.25% lost 42.32 points, or 0.3%, to 16,633.05.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.28% dipped in and out of negative territory and ended the day down 11.99 points, or 0.3%, at 4,225.07.
“There were a few disappointing earnings, [a new] deal ... between Valeant and Allergan fell through. So, markets are taking a pause,” said Kim Caughey Forrest, investment analyst at Fort Pitt Capital. “Still, the bias in the stock market this year is upward. It seems like people are buying every dip, which are turning out to be very shallow.”
In corporate news, Michael Kors Holdings Ltd. KORS -0.14% shares swung between big gains and losses and closed 1.3% higher, after the luxury retailer’s fiscal fourth-quarter profit topped estimates.
PetroLogistics L.P. PDH +10.67% shares surged 11% on the news that a subsidiary of Koch Industries Inc. agreed to buy the company, which produces propylene, in a deal worth about $2.1 billion in cash, including debt. Toll Brothers Inc. TOL +0.52% shares rose 2.1% after the home builder reported better-than-expected fiscal second-quarter results.
Shares of Workday Inc. WDAY -0.31% rose 2.3% after the enterprise cloud-application company late Tuesday reported a smaller-than-expected adjusted loss. Total revenue rose to $159.7 million from $91.65 million, beating estimates.
DSW Inc.DSW +0.17% shares slumped 27% after the discount shoe retailer cut its forecast for full-year results. DSW also posted first-quarter results that fell short of analyst estimates.
Shares of 3D Systems Corp. DDD -0.87% fell 11% after the 3-D printer late Tuesday announced a secondary offering of approximately 6 million shares.
Twitter Inc. TWTR +0.03% shares climbed 11% after Nomura upgraded the stock to buy from neutral,. It said investors have fully priced in the expectation that the short-messaging, social-media company will remain a niche player.
In other financial markets, European stocks XX:SXXP -0.05% posted marginal losses, while Asian stocks closed mostly higher on the back of Wall Street gains.
U.S. Treasury prices surged Wednesday, sending the benchmark 10-year Treasury note /quotes/zigman/4868283/delayed 10_YEAR -2.86% yield to its lowest of the year on a closing basis.
Across other markets, oil CLN4 -1.09% and gold GCM4 -0.52% prices settled lower, and the dollar DXY +0.25% pushed higher.

The following are excerpts from Wed. morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Wednesday's Wall Street 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 Tuesday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 16675.50 up 69.23 or 0.42% from Friday's close of 16606.27. For the year the Dow is up 0.6%.

The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was IBM down $1.16 or 0.62%.
WSJ pC4 "S&P 500 glides to record" by Tomi Kilgore says stocks rallied pushing the S&P 500 to its 2nd straight record, as a continued bounce in small firm stocks bolstered sentiment. Pfizer gained 12 cents after it dropped its pursuit of AstraZeneca.
NYT pB4 "Market climbs for 4th straight session" by AP says the market rose on Tues as Wall St saw more promising signs that the economy was strengthening after its winter slowdown.
FT p21 "Strong consumer sentiment sends gold miners into retreat" by Eric Platt says Pfizer shares climbed as much as 1.3% after abandoning its offer for Astra.
IBD pB4 "nasdaq follows through, finally, as S&P hits highs" by Juan Carlos Arancibia says the Nasdaq & S&P gave bullish signals Tues putting the market on a confirmed uptrend as Tuesday's action was "Nasdaq follows through" and the current outlook is now a confirmed uptrend.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2596.64 up 10.78 from Friday's numerator of 2585.86. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $86.55 up 35 cents from Friday's average closing price of $86.20. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.89 (HD/PG) up 4 cents from Friday's median closing price of $79.85 (HD/PG). The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume was Cisco.
If Tuesday 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 $1,078 ($259,664 -$258,586 ).
5/27/14 Tuesday 4:50 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says U.S. stocks finished Tuesday with solid gains, sending the S&P 500 to a record close for the second straight session.
Sharp gains in technology stocks, including Apple Inc., the heaviest-weighted component on the Nasdaq Composite, sent the tech-heavy index to its highest level in nearly 8 weeks.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP +1.23% ended the day up 51.26 points, or 1.2%, at 4,237.07. High-growth biotechnology stocks also rallied, with the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF up 2.5%.
The S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX +0.60% closed near session highs, after hitting an intraday record. The benchmark index gained 11.38 points, or 0.6%, to 1,911.91.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.42% gained 69.23 points, or 0.4%, to 16,675.50.
The Russell 2000 index RUT +1.42% rallied, gaining 15.96 points, or 1.4% to 1,142.15, according to preliminary data from FactSet.
Bullish analysts were vindicated as stocks reached record levels amid higher volumes. The benchmark index closed at a record level on Friday amid the lightest trading volume this year.
Investors welcomed positive and better-than-expected headline numbers in economic reports on Tuesday, and shrugged off some of the negative details that worried analysts. Orders for big-ticket items climbed thanks to demand for military equipment, but bookings fell in most civilian categories. Home prices rose in March for the first time in five months, however annual growth is still slowing. Consumer confidence edged up in May, matching expectations. Markets were closed on Monday for Memorial Day holiday.
Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC, says that traders came back from the long-weekend in a good mood.
“Gold is positively hammered and the fact that the S&P 500 is trading above the 1,910 level suggests there is a real flow of capital back into riskier assets and away from havens, Cieszynski.
“After new highs in the industrials and transports a few weeks ago, this is a confirmation that there is breadth to this rally. However, the fact that the Vix is so low means that investors are getting complacent, so that is worrying,” he added
Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial, said headline numbers on Tuesday’s economic reports were good, but one could also find negative details.
“Durable-goods orders rose, but capex part actually declined. Corporations are still hesitant to invest in capital expenditures. For this market to go higher, companies must deliver top-line growth, because we know the Fed is winding down the QE,” Krosby added.
