Post No. 2,871 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 Monday's Barron's & Investor's Business Daily, the combined Sat/Sun issues of each of the Wall Street Journal & Financial Times; & Saturday's New York Times, & Atlanta Journal & Constitution 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 Friday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 17009.69 up 208.64 or 1.24% from Thursday's close of 16801.05. For the week the Dow is down 103.46 or 0.06% from last Friday's close of 17113.15. For the year the Dow is up 2.6%. Of the Dow components 29 gained and only Caterpillar declined. The only and therefore the biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Caterpillar down 2 cents or .02%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Goldman Sachs down $5.19 or 2.84 %.
IBD pB8 "Stock indexes post nice gains, but 50 day lines may pose test" by Paul Witfield says stocks popped higher fri as the major indexes built a small cushion above their recent low as Friday's action was up in lower vol & the current outlook is market in correction.
FT p14 "Wall street" by Mamta Badka, eric Platt says US equity markets rallied after a report showed an acceleration in hiring.
Sat. WSJ pB1 "Dollar rises further, stocks fall for week" by James Ramage, Corrie Driebusch says the dollar notched its 12 straight weekly gain as a strong jobs report highlighted the relative health of the US economy.
Sat. NYT pB6 "sunny employment report fuels sharp rise in market" by AP says a job report showing a pickup in hiring last month boosted the market.
As of the open of the market on Monday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B6 of Monday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Monday's trailing P/E ratio is 15.90 unchanged from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.90 (last year it was 15.52). Monday's P/E estimate is 14.93 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 15.06 (year ago it was 13.99) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.24 down from Friday's dividend yield of 2.25 (last year it was 2.18). 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.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2648.68 up 32.49 from Thursday's numerator of 2616.19. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $88.29 down $108 from Thursday's average closing price of $87.21. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $87.81 (AXP/DIS) up $1.58 from Thursday's median closing price of $86.23 (AXP/DIS). The lowest volume was United Technologies and the highest volume was Microsoft.
If Friday 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 $3,249 ($261,619 - $264,868).
10/3/14 Fri. 4:32 MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Sara Sjolin says the S&P 500 enjoyed its biggest one-day gain in nearly two months, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average tallied its biggest gain in seven months, thanks in large part to a stronger-than-expected jobs report that delivered a dose of confidence to investors. The jobs report was not only robust, it was also the sort of Goldilocks data message the markets craved—strong headline numbers along with a dose of wage-growth stagnation. The jobs report offered markets the view that U.S. economic growth will continue but no so vigorously as to raise the inflation antenna of Federal Reserve, forcing them to raise rates abruptly. Friday’s also helped put a dent in weekly losses, but the main benchmarks still finished the week modestly lower. Marking the second weekly decline in a row for major indexes.On Friday. the S&P 500 SPX, +1.12% rose 21.73 points, or 1.1%, to 1,967.90, with health care and financials stocks leading the broad-based gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.24% gained 220 points, or 1.2%, to 17,009.69. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.03% added 45.43points, or 1%, to 4,4755.62.Mike Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors’ U.S. Intermediary Business, stressed that not only the headline number of the jobs report was good, but underlying components showed strength, referring to substantial upward revisions for July and August.“The fact that the wage growth remains tame and inflation below target, bodes well for the markets as the Fed won't be pressured to raise rates sooner. It appears that markets are finally in a cycle where good news is good news,” Arone said.Data: The U.S. economy added 248,000 jobs in September and hiring in August turned out to be a lot stronger than forecasts, showing the U.S. economy entered the fall with rising momentum. The unemployment rate fell to 5.9%, falling below 6% mark for the first time since 2008. The U.S. trade deficit fell 0.5% to $40.1 billion in August, representing the lowest level since January as the nation exported a record amount of petroleum and imported less. U.S. services and other non-manufacturing companies reported slower growth for September, after hitting its highest level since 2008 in August, according to a survey of senior executives released Friday. Movers: Mylan Inc. MYL, +8.02% shares rallied 8% after the pharmaceutical company raised its third-quarter and full-year earnings guidance. Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp. TKMR, -0.44% shares jumped 16%, as the widening breadth of Ebola cases in the U.S. brightened the company’s outlook. Tekmira is one of a handful of biotech companies working on treatments for the Ebola virus. In commodities-related shares, plunging gold prices put pressure on miners, while energy groups suffered from falling oil prices. Oil and mining stocks were among the worst performers on the S&P 500 on Friday. Diamond Offshore Drilling DO, -5.25% fell 5.3%, Newmont Mining Corporation NEM, -2.49% was down 2.5%. Other markets: Asian markets closed mostly in positive territory, and European markets rebounded after a sharp selloff on Thursday. The dollar rose against rivals after the jobs report, recovering after a sharp slide over the past two sessions. Oil futures fell, while gold prices GCZ4, -1.95% slumped Friday in the wake of an upbeat jobs report, turning negative for the year and briefly trading below $1,200 an ounce.
