Post No. 2,677 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 Thursday at 16698.74 up 65.56 or 0.39% from Wednesday's close of 16633.05. Of the Dow components 25 gained and 5 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Merck up $1.30 and 2.3%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs down 45 cents and percentage-wise was Cisco down 0.56%.
As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.27 down from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.31 (last year it was 16.71). Thursday's P/E estimate is 14.81 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 14.81 (year ago it was 13.75) and Thursday's dividend yield is 2.19 up from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.18 (last year it was 2.37). 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.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2600.26 up 10.21 from Wednesday's numerator of 2590.05. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $86.68 up 34 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $86.34. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $80.15 (PG/HD) up 26 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $79.89 (PG/HD). The lowest volume was Visa and the highest volume was Pfizer.
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 $1,021 ($260,026 - $259,005).
5/29/14 Thursday 4:05 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says the U.S. stock market closed modestly higher on Thursday with the S&P 500 hitting an intraday record and finishing at an all-time high for the 13th time this year. Investors shrugged off data showing the economy contracted in the first quarter and focused instead on better-than-expected jobless claims and deal news in the food industry. The benchmark S&P 500 SPX +0.54% closed 10.25 points, or 0.5%, higher at 1,920.03. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.39% added 65.50 points, or 0.4%, to 16,698.68. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.54% ended the day up 22.87 points, or 0.5%, at 4,247.95.

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 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.
