Post No. 2,753 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 17083.80 down 2.83 or 0.02% from Wednesday's close of 17086.63. Of the Dow components 16 gained, McDonald's was unchanged and 13 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $1.61 and percentage-wise was Nike up 1.59%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar down $3.34 or 3.08%.
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 16.53 up from Wed. trailing P/E ratio of 16.51 (last year it was 16.69). Thursday's P/E estimate is 15.08 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 15.08 (year ago it was 13.55) and Thursday's dividend yield is 2.15 unchanged from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.16 (last year it was 2.36). The Dow's all-time high was 17113.54 on July 2, 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 2660.22 down 0.44 from Wednesday's numerator of 2660.66. 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 $88.67 down 2 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $88.69. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $83.40 (HD/UNH) down 9 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $83.49 (HD/UNH). The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume was Intel.
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 lost $44 ($266,066 - $266,022).
7/24/14 Thursday 4:10 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahumudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says The S&P 500 closed at an all-time high for the 27th time this year on Thursday, but other U.S. stock-market benchmarks slipped back into the red just ahead of the closing bell.
The main benchmarks traded in a narrow range throughout the session as investors processed a deluge of earnings reports and mixed economic data.
The S&P 500 SPX +0.05% closed less than a point higher at 1,987.98, after setting a fresh intraday record. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.02% finished off 2.83 points at 17,083.80. The Nasdaq CompositeCOMP -0.04% ended the day 1.59 points lower at 4,472.11.
“Markets are already at lofty levels and we need more good news to keep going higher,” he said. “Today’s economic and corporate news have been mixed. Earnings so far have supported the market, but there is cautious optimism among investors as we are entering historically weak months.”
Shares of Facebook FB -0.13% jumped 5.2% action after its profit and sales beat expectations.
Ford F +0.23% shares rose 0.3% after the car maker beat earnings expectations.
General Motors Co. GM +0.03% profit sank 80% as the auto maker was hit by recalls. Adjusted earnings matched analyst expectations. Shares fell 4.5%.
Among the decliners, TripAdvisor Inc. TRIP -5.19% sank 5.2% and Angie’s List Inc. ANGI -1.58% tumbled 19% after those companies separately reported late Wednesday.
Caterpillar Inc. CAT -3.08% shares dropped 3.1% after the maker of manufacturing equipment said sales fell short of expectations in the second quarter, but the company raised its earnings outlook again.
Among economic news, the number of people filing for unemployment benefits fell to the lowest level since February 2006, surprising economists, but June’s pace of new-home sales hit a three-month low and the May rate was revised down significantly.
Outside of a loss for the Nikkei 225 index JP:NIK -0.29% , Asian stocks rose across the board Thursday with a 1.2% gain for the China Shanghai Composite CN:SHCOMP +1.28% , after a preliminary reading of Chinese manufacturing data from HSBC hit an 18-month high. European stocksXX:SXXP +0.43% gained across the board amid a big earnings day there.
Crude-oil CLU4 -1.09% edged lower along with gold prices GCQ4 -0.81% , while the dollar DXY +0.07% steadied.

Gains in health care and technology sector stocks on the back of impressive profits from Biogen Idec Inc. and Apple Inc. pushed the S&P 500 to close at a record on Wednesday.
