Post No. 2,881 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 as of Sept. 24, 2014.
A read of the print editions of Friday'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 Thursday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 16659.25 down 334.97 or 1.97% from Wednesday's close of 16994.22. For the year the Dow is up 0.50%.Of the Dow components all 30 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs down $5.37 and percentage-wise was Caterpillar down 3.26%.
WSJ pC1 "Dow industrials post worst loss of year" by Chris Dieterich, Dan Strumpf, Mike Cherney says stocks were routed for the 2nd time in 3 sessions with the Dow's largest loss of the year marking a return to wild swings after months of calm. Traders blamed slowing global growth & tumbling energy prices but said there was no particular news on Thurs. to blame for the Dow's drop.
AJC pA11 "Dow sees year's worst dive: 334" by Ken Sweet, PA says the Dow plunged as a decline in energy stocks & worries about the global economy sent investors fleeing in the biggest point drop since June '13.
NYT pB1 "As alarm bells ring, signs of action" by Nathaniel Popper says renewed fears of an economic slowdown in Europe & Asia have injected a note of fear into what had been some complacent markets, leading to a sharp sell-off in stocks Thurs.
USAT p1A "Swings rattle Wall Street" by Adam Shell, Gary Strauss says volatility is back as the market endures its most violent string of daily swings in more than 3 years.
IBD pB3 "Stocks fall hard on fear of recession in Europe" by Paul Whitfield says stocks indexes on Thurs gave back all of the big gains from the previous session due to worries about Europe's economic situation as Thursday's action was a sell off in lower trade while the current outlook is market in correction.
As of the open of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.08 up from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.82 (last year it was 15.57). Friday's P/E estimate is 14.93 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 14.93 (year ago it was 13.99) and Friday's dividend yield is 2.22 down from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.26 (last year it was 2.17). The Dow's all-time high was 17279.74 on September 19, 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 2594.41 down 50.14 from Wednesday's numerator of 2646.27. 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 $86.47 down $1.74 from Wednesday's average closing price of $88.21. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $85.80 (AXP/DIS) down $1.96 from Wednesday's median closing price of $87.76 (AXP/DIS). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Microsoft.
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 $5,014 ($264,627 - $259,411).
10/9/14 Thurs. 5:01 MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova, Victor Reklaitis & Carla Mozee says
U.S. stock investors scrambled for the exits on Thursday, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 335 points, its worst one-day point selloff in more than a year. The S&P 500 SPX, -2.07% fell 40.68 points, or 2.1%, to 1,928.21, its biggest one-day percentage drop since April 10. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -1.97% slid 334.97 points, or 2%, to 16,659.25, marking its fourth drop of more than 300 points this year. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -2.02% fell 90.26 points, or 2.2%, to 4,378.34.Thursday’s brutal losses came on the heels of a 274-point rally, which marked some of the sharpest gains the market had seen in months. Wednesday’s gain followed a 273-point plunge on Tuesday. Those topsy turvy movements highlight what’s been a frenetic series of trading sessions in the past several months. As selling intensified, volatility on the S&P 500 as measured by the CBOE VIX index jumped 23% to 18.59, the highest level not seen since February. Volatility metrics like the VIX serve as a gauge of current fear in the market.The carnage hit small-cap stocks the hardest, with the Russell 2000 RUT, -2.66% falling 29.13 points, or 2.7%, to 1,067.99, it’s lowest level in nearly a year.Analysts said selling might have been triggered partly by disquieting comments from European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, while others said stocks just got ahead of themselves with Wednesday’s big rally. Draghi said “Europe’s problems are structural, not cyclical, and without reforms there can be no recovery. I think this is weighing a bit on the market,” said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital.Meanwhile, prominent activist investor Carl Icahn might also have fueled the slide in stocks. The billionaire investor told CNBC that a market correction is “definitely coming,” adding that he’s hedging his stock bets by shorting the S&P 500.All 30 stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down with declines in Caterpillar Inc. CAT, -3.26% Goldman Sachs GS, -2.88% Visa V, -2.19% and Chevron CVX, +3.00% weighing heavily on the price-weighted index. Government data showed the number of people applying for unemployment benefits was below 300,000 for the fourth week in a row.
Stocks to watch: PepsiCo Inc. shares PEP, -0.39% rose 0.5%, with the beverage and snack giant reporting third-quarter profit and sales results that beat expectations.Alcoa Inc. shares AA, -4.23% fell 4.4% in regular trading despite the aluminum producer beating Wall Street’s third-quarter earnings earnings estimates as stocks were dragged down amid the selloff. Meanwhile, Apple Inc. AAPL, -0.27% suppliers have delayed plans to mass produce a larger-screen tablet to early next year, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Carl Icahn’s issued a letter to Apple before the opening bell pushing the Apple to return more cash to shareholders and arguing that the share price of the iPhone maker should trade at $203 a share. Apple shares gained 0.6%.Google Inc.’s GOOG, -0.27% tax deal in France is being challenged, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Shares fell 1.8%.Other markets: In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei Average NIK, -0.75% fell as the yen strengthened against the greenback. Gold prices GCZ4, +1.54% surged, while oil futures CLX4, -3.32% dropped.
