Post No. 2,855 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 Wednesday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, 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 Monday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 17042.90 down 28.32 or 0.17% from Monday's close of 17071.22. For the year the Dow is up 2.81%. Of the Dow components 13 gained and 17 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Visa up $2.44 or 1.16%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonald's down $1.41 or 1.47%.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks end 3rd quarter by falling" by Saumya Vaishampayan says declines were more pronounced in smaller firm stocks.
NYT pB10 "Market ends the month with a whimper" & AJC pA13 "Stormy month has quiet end" by AP says a stormy month on Wall Street came to a quiet end Tues.
IBD pB5 "Stocks, indexes fall mildly" by Juan Carlos Arancibia says Tuesday's action saw indexes fall modestly in higher vol as the curren t outlook is uptrend under pressure.
FT p21 "Wall street" by Mamta Badkar says the Dow was down 2%.
As of the open of 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 16.15 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.1 (last year it was 15.64). Today's P/E estimate is 15.06 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 15.06 (year ago it was 14.39) and today's dividend yield is 2.21 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.20 (last year it was 2.15). 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.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2653.85 down 4.41 from Monday's numerator of 2658.26. 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 $88.46 down 15 cents from Monday's average closing price of $88.61. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $86.90 (UNH/AXP) down 33 cents from Monday's median closing price of $87.23 (UNH/AXP). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was GE.
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 lost $441 ($265,826 - $265,385).
9/30/14 Tues. 4:25 MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Carla Mozee says U.S. stocks finished Tuesday’s choppy trading session lower as investors found little solace in mixed bag of economic reports on housing, manufacturing and consumer confidence. Tuesday marked the end of the month and the third quarter, and investors struggled to find their footing as a mix of economic data during the trading day appeared to offer no clear direction for stocks. The S&P 500 dropped of 1.6% in September, while eking out a gain of 0.6% for the quarter, the seventh consecutive quarterly gain. In Tuesday action, the S&P 500 SPX, -0.28% closed down 5.5 points, or 0.3%, at 1,972.29. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.17% dropped 28.23 points, or 0.2%, to 17,042.90. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.28% lost 12.46 points, or 0.3%, to 4,493.39.Karyn Cavanaugh, senior market strategist at Voya Investment Management, pointed out that while headline numbers on Tuesday’s economic reports were weaker than expected, the data still revealed a healthy economy. Economic data: Annual home price growth slowed in July to the slowest pace since late 2012, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller home-price index. The Chicago PMI slowed to a still-strong reading in September, with inventories rising at the highest pace in 41 years. The consumer confidence index, meanwhile, fell sharply in September for its first decline in five months.
Investors also are looking across the Atlantic, where eurozone inflation hit a five-year low in September, and German jobless data disappointed, both which arguably could add pressure to the European Central Bank to launch full-scale quantitative easing soon. The ECB meets on Thursday, but economists widely expect the bank to hold back on more aggressive policy measures for now and instead provide details on its program for purchasing asset-backed securities, which was announced at the September meeting. The Thursday ECB meeting will be one of the week’s more closely watched events. The other is Friday’s monthly jobs report, where economists want to see strong, but not overly strong, jobs growth.Stocks to watch: Move MOVE, +37.08% leapt 37% after News Corp. NWSA, -2.68% NWS, -2.24% said it would buy the online real-estate business in an all-cash deal for $21 a share. News Corp. owns MarketWatch, the publisher of this report.EBay EBAY, +7.54% shares jumped 7.5% after the firm announced plans to spin off its payments arm PayPal in a transaction expected to be completed in the second half of 2015.Ford F, -2.12% shares were under pressure, falling 2.1% after cutting its full-year earnings outlook on expectations it will lose $1.2 billion in Europe this year. Supervalu SVU, -2.08% shares fell 2.1% after it found more data-capturing malware at stores on Monday.Catalyst Pharmaceutical Partners CPRX, +11.04% rose 11% after the biotech said late Monday a late-stage study showed its Firdapse treatment benefited sufferers of an autoimmune disorder that causes muscle weakness. Read more about the day’s notable stocks in Movers & Shakers.Other markets: Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index HSI, -1.28% fell 1.3% as pro-democracy protests continued, though many worried about a possible crackdown. Europe stocks SXXP, +0.61% finished higher on the heels of downbeat data. The euro EURUSD, -0.45% pushed lower against the dollar after eurozone inflation data.
