Post No. 2,796 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 17039.49 up 60.36 or 0.36% from Wednesday's close of 16979.13. Of the Dow components 25 gained and 5 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $1.13 and percentage-wise was Intel up 1.88%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Merck up 63 cents or 1.06%.
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 16.03 up from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.96 (last year it was 16.22). Thursday's P/E estimate is 14.77 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 14.77 (year ago it was 13.66) and Thursday's dividend yield is 2.20 unchanged from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.20 (last year it was 2.49). 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 2653.32 up 10.60 from Wednesday's numerator of 2643.92. 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 $88.44 up 31 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $88.13. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $86.46 (UNH/AXP) up 50 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $85.96 (UNH/AXP). The lowest volume was Travelers 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 made $1,060 ($265,332 - $264,392).
8/21/14 Thurs. 4:36 MarketWatch by Victor Reklaitis & Barbara Kollmeyer says
U.S. stocks
U.S. stocks advanced Thursday, with the S&P 500 logging its fourth straight daily gain and closing at a record high.
Reports on existing-home sales and manufacturing topped forecasts, and expectations of dovish notes in Friday’s speech from Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen also boosted sentiment.
The S&P 500 SPX, +0.29% gained 5.86 points, or 0.3%, to finish at 1,992.37, topping its July 24 finish to set its 28th record close in 2014. The four-day winning streak is the longest since June. During the session, the index hit an intraday record at 1,994.76.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.36% rose 60.36 points, or 0.4%, to 17,039.49, pushing back above the 17,000 level to log its highest close since July 24. The index is off around 0.6% from its all-time closing high. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.12% rose 5.62 points, or 0.1%, to 4,532.10, ending at its highest level since March 31, 2000.
Today’s market-moving economic data: An August reading for the Philadelphia Fed index, a manufacturing gauge, came in at 28, besting forecasts for a reading of 18, and a manufacturing gauge from Markit also jumped. Meanwhile, sales of existing homes rose 2.4% in July to 5.15 million, above expectations, and initial weekly jobless claims came in basically in line with forecasts.
Thursday’s encouraging economic reports have provided a lift to U.S. stocks, said Kim Caughey Forrest, a portfolio manager and senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group. The good news might have been bad news for the stock market, spurring worries the Fed could pull back sooner from its stimulus efforts, but the central bank has been offering “soothing words,” she told MarketWatch.
““It looks like regardless of how long the Fed hawks are talking, the doves are winning at this point,” Forrest said.
Investors further shrugged off the Fed minutes released Wednesday that showed some officials arguing the groundwork should be laid for raising interest rates sooner than expected. A hike is hardly imminent.
“It’s still unlikely that it’s going to be immediate and remains data dependent,” said Brenda Kelly, chief market strategist at IG Markets, in emailed comments.
High hopes for Jackson Hole: Kelly and other strategists said not much will hold markets’ attention ahead of Friday in Jackson Hole, Wyo., where Yellen and European Central Bank President Mario Draghi are scheduled to speak.
“Markets are making hay while the sun shines—possibly in a delusional manner based on previous equity moves in the run-up and aftermath of the Jackson Hole symposium,” Kelly said. “Yellen, however, is not Bernanke, and she may offer some surprises.”
Other strategists are sounding at least slightly cautious in the short term following the S&P 500’s two-week uptrend.
“Despite hints by the FOMC that rate hikes may come sooner than widely anticipated, the S&P 500 appears to be on a mission to eclipse the 2,000 level before considering the consequences of an uncontrolled advance,” said Sam Stovall, an equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, in emailed comments.
Individual stocks: Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ, +5.35% and Hormel Foods Corp. HRL, +4.30% were the biggest winners in the S&P 500 after each company posted quarterly profit that topped expectations.
EBay Inc. EBAY, +4.66% was another top performer in the S&P 500, gaining more than 4% in the wake of speculation it may spin off its PayPal business.
Shares of retailer Gap Inc. GPS, +0.16% edged higher in the lead up to quarterly earnings after the closing bell. What to look for
Dollar Tree Inc. DLTR, -1.31% shares were down 1.3% after reporting quarterly results and as Family Dollar Stores Inc. FDO, -0.50% reaffirmed its support for Dollar Tree’s.

*****************
The following are excerpts from Thurs. morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Thursday'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 Wednesday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 16979.13 up 59.54 or 0.35% from Tuesday's close of 16919.59. For the year the Dow is up 2.43%. Of the Dow components 22 gained and 8 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Home Depot up $2.52 or 2.86%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was McDonald's down 26 cents and percentage-wise was Microsoft down 0.84%.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks overcome jitters about Fed policy" by Alexandra Scaggs says the Dow & S&P extended its winning streak to 3 days as the market awaits comments on Friday from Yellen. Home Depot led the Dow due to strong 2Q earnings & upbeat housing market data.
FT pB19 "Lowe's holds ground despite trimming sales expectations" by Jennifer Bissell says US equities were stronger at midday ahead of a minutes release from the FROMC meeting in July.
IBD pB4 "Fed minutes don't derail the uptrend" by David Saito-Chung says Wed's action saw mixed finish among thinner trade as the current outlook is confirmed uptrend.
NYT pB5 "Talk of higher interest rates doesn't deter the market" & AJC pA13 "Gains for Dow, s&P" by AP Tues was the 3rd slowest trading day of the year and Wed was the 12th slowest day.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2643.92 up 9.27 from Tuesday's numerator of 2634.65. 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 $88.13 up 31 cents from Tuesday's average closing price of $87.82. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $85.96 (UNH/AXP) up 16 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $85.80 (UNH/AXP). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Intel.
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 made $927 (T264,392 - $263,346).
8/20/14 Wed. 4:36 MarketWatch by Victor Reklaitis & Barbara Kollmeyer says
U.S. stocks
closed higher on Wednesday, shaking off a dip that came after Federal Reserve minutes indicated that policy makers talked at their last meeting about a sooner-than-anticipated hike to interest rates.
The S&P 500 SPX, +0.25% rose 4.91 points, or less than 0.3%, to finish at 1,986.51. The benchmark index turned negative shortly after the minutes came out at 2 p.m. Eastern, but it bounced back and even briefly traded above its July 24 record close of 1,987.98.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.35% tacked on 59.54 points, or nearly 0.4%, to finish at 16,979.13, while the Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.02% edged down by 1.03 points, or less than 0.1%, to 4,526.48. The S&P and Dow have advanced for three days in a row, while the Nasdaq snapped a five-session winning streak.
Fed officials debated at their July meeting whether to move faster than expected to start raising interest rates in light of an improving job market and rising inflation, said a Wall Street Journal report on the minutes. But the officials decided they needed more evidence before concluding that was the right approach.
“The center of gravity is moving gradually to the hawkish side,” said Jerry Webman chief economist at OppenheimerFunds. The stock market “likes accommodation,” so it gave up a little ground after the minutes, he told MarketWatch. But there wasn’t a more extreme negative reaction because the minutes don’t give a reason to get pessimistic about corporate earnings, which are the market’s main driver, he added.
While investors are reading the minutes for clues about the Fed’s strategy, they may quickly move past them to focus on Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen’s speech at 10 a.m. Eastern Friday in Jackson Hole, Wyo.
Staples Inc. SPLS, -2.58% helped keep a lid on the S&P 500’s gains, becoming the index’s worst performer of the day after the retailer reported a drop in quarterly profit and sales. Apple Inc. AAPL, -0.12% gained less than 0.1% to close at $100.57 for an all-time split-adjusted closing high. It also hit an intraday split-adjusted record of $101.09.
Possible ‘speed bump’ ahead: The Fed minutes didn’t contain “anything shocking,” and there wasn’t a big drop by stocks, so the market resumed its two-week uptrend, said Joe Bell, senior equity analyst for Schaeffer’s Investment Research.
The S&P 500 could face resistance in the short term as the benchmark nears its record close, Bell also said. Prior highs “generally act as some sort of speed bump,” he told MarketWatch.
The S&P 500 finished less than 0.1% below its July 24 record close, as well as 0.2% off its intraday record of 1,991.39, also achieved on July 24.
Movers & shakers: Hertz Global Holdings Inc. HTZ, +0.26% shares slumped 3.9% after the rental-car company said it expects to be “well below the low end” of guidance. Losses had been steeper, but then activist investor Carl Icahn disclosed a stake in Hertz.
Apple scored a record close for the second day in a row.
Lowe’s Cos. LOW, +1.57% rose 1.6%, while Target Corp. TGT, +1.82% finished up 1.8%. Each retailer had dropped earlier Wednesday after cutting its guidance.
