Post No. 2,859 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, 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 16801.05 down 3.66 or 0.02% from Wednesday's close of 16804.71. For the year the Dow is up 1.4%. Of the Dow components 10 gained and 20 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs up $2.18 and percentage-wise was Nike up 1.82%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was JPMorgan down 93 cents or 1.56%.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks get break from string of declines" by Chris Dietrich says US stocks stabilized after a stretch of sharp declines as investors brushed off heavy selling in overseas markets.
IBD pB3 "Stocks reverse higher though vol cools off" by Paul Whitfield says Thursdays action was positive reversal in easing vol 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 C6 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 15.90 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.13 (last year it was 15.44). Today's P/E estimate is 15.06 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 15.06 (year ago it was 14.39) and today's dividend yield is 2.25 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.22 (last year it was 2.19). 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 2616.19 down 0.57 from Wednesday's numerator of 2616.76. 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 $87.21 down 2 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $87.23. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $86.23 (AXP/DIS) down 42 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $86.65 (AXP/DIS). 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 lost $57 ($261,676 - $261,619).
10/2/14 Thurs. 4:35 MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Sara Sjolin says The U.S. stock market swung wildly between gains and losses on Thursday but finished the session virtually unchanged. At session lows, the S&P 500 was down more than 4% from its previous closing peak reached on September 19. But “buy the dip” mentality prevailed and the index bounced back to close a fraction higher. Buyers particularly flocked into beaten-down small-caps, pushing the Russell 2000 up 1% to 1,096.The S&P 500 SPX, +0.00% closed a fraction higher at 1,946.17. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.02% ended down 3.66 points at 16,801.05. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.18% picked up 8.11 points to 4,430.19.Kim Caughey Forrest, senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital, suggested that Thursday’s action might have been driven by computerized trades. “There was a lot of nervousness in the past few days, so we saw a pullback that probably triggered some algo programs to start buying again,” Forrest said. “But we welcome this volatility as it created some buying opportunities for us,” she added.Thursday’s important news included the decision by the European Central Bank to leave rates unchanged at its meeting in Naples, while ECB President Mario Draghi, at a news conference, offered details of a new asset purchase intended to boost the lagging European economy. Data: Ahead of Friday’s all-important jobs report, weekly jobless claims came in stronger than expected, in yet another sign that layoffs remain low and the labor market continues to improve. The number of people applying for new unemployment benefits fell by 8,000 to 287,000 in the past week of September, yet another sign that layoffs remain low and the labor market continues to improve. Orders for goods produced in U.S. factories fell 10.1% in August, the U.S. Commerce Department said Thursday. The volatility is mainly because of changing demand for airplanes. Movers: Esperion Therapeutics Inc. ESPR, +10.57% surged 11%, after saying late Wednesday a mid-stage clinical trial showed its drug candidate, ETC-1002, significantly lowered bad cholesterol.DirecTV DTV, +0.87% was up 0.9% after the satellite-TV provider late Wednesday said it had reached a multiyear agreement with the National Football League. Bank of America Corp. BAC, +0.36% rose 0.4% after the bank late Wednesday said Chief Executive Officer Brian Moynihan will succeed Charles Holliday Jr. as chairman, effective immediately. Reporting ahead of the open, Constellation Brands Inc. STZ, -1.01% missed estimates for sales and profits. Shares fell 1%. Other markets: European stocks fell after the ECB meeting, while Japanese stocks closed significantly lower, logging a three-day losing streak.Crude-oil futures fell below $90 a barrel for the first time since April 2013 as news that Saudi Arabia cut its selling price continued to spook investors. New York-traded crude-oil futures rebounded slightly Thursday. But London’s Brent—viewed as the world’s benchmark—settled at its lowest since June 2012. Metals prices were lower across the board. In currencies, the dollar fell against the yen.
